    Now that we all know who makes the best picker crane in the world I'll try to get this thread back on its proper course.

    The fuse block came from that pile of wireing harness, it is multi payers of plastic with copper buss running though the insides of it. The little ice cube relays each have pecious metals contacts inside, I have disasembled one so that everyone could have a peek.

    You can find as many as a dozen or more of these small realays scattered through out the car or truck your scrapping out.

    Oh by the way the fuse block weighs in at 2.60 lbs, I used the grinder to remove sme of the plating to expose the copper underneath.

    For those of you that like numbers, there was 6.4 grams of copper wire on the relay coil. It would take aproximaely 78.125 relays to recover a full pound of copper.
