Sounds like a good idea...
289FIA - you're probably correct on the duct tape, or they could of used chewing gum. BTW, the original did have fuse covers which is why I wanted them...

Just a little string, or the like, fastened inside the fuse box cover, will probably suffice. Once it's on I won't be pulling them off unless there's an electical failure somewhere (and there hasn't been one yet, failed ignition switch notwithstanding). Considering the covers only cost $4 each, losing one is not a terribly big deal. But remember that the throttle linkage is below the fuse box, and if you were really lucky, you could vibrate the cover loose and bounce it right in to the linkage during full throttle acceleration and wedge in it. If that happened I would attribute it to the mischievous elves that live under my hood.

Well I finally Got Around to Doing Mine...
Yes, some people love the exposed fuses on the ERA and some don't. I finally got around this week to tackling the fuse box covers -- not really a hefty task by any stretch of the imagination. That said, I don't have the patience to hand-file the inside of the Lucas covers; I used my Dremel tool instead and it took about 15 seconds per cover. In order to keep them on there with heat changes and vibrations, I slipped a black zip around and simply trimmed to length. Cost: Less than $10 Difficulty: Low
Here's a couple of shots -- I really like the way they look.
