It looks like both kits are good. Can anyone post pictures of either the rebel or watson fuse panel in their buggy. And let me know any plus or negatives of either of these kits.
Thanks
Gary

I have used both. The Watson's has a better fuse panel and is more complete. The Rebel is cheaper but has no ground wires or connectors. The Rebel wiring diagram is also more VW switch "friendly". Tom

We used the VW Beetle kit because the Manxter had a lot of circuits to wire. The Watson wiring diagram is really meant for their switches, if you want to use VW, you will have to figure it out. I tried the Rebel kit in the 68 Manx because that was a simpiler car. Tom

I used the Rebel 9+3 in first car because I had it. I do not recomend. My new car I ordered the Rebel " Buggy kit " only has 4 fuesed circuts and I do not plan any VW switches. Will let you know how it goes. Rebel is very helpful
