Fuse box on top of the battery

Does anyone know where I can get a new metal plate for this?
The blue cable goes to a 500W amp in the boot and as you can see I've blown it
Is a 50A plate the correct one?
I've tried every all car audio places in Lincoln as well as Halfords and B&Q and none of them sell one

seat dealer?

Yeah will have to wait until Monday I suppose.
It's strange that no one else stocks this part though. Do other cars not have this type of setup?

You could just run the cable direct off the live terminal and use an in-line fuse.

You must of done a pretty good job to blow that lol! But I would of thought that is a dealer only part...or like suggested above just wire around it and put in your own fuse

OK cool. Yeah wasn't thinking straight at the time. Went to Santa Pod and disconnected everything from the boot and forgot to disconnect the cable from the battery. Think the cable touched the chassis which blew it.

Will a 50A plate be alright or do I want a larger one?

It's a fuse. Should have the value stamped on it. 50A is 600W at 12V, so it depends how efficient your amp is.

Seat dealer should hold 50A fuses, there's one further along the fusebox.
