Jon, Anything is possible with enough time and money. However as just a quick and simple modification, I would say no. I can get you a brand new OE VW fuse panel to replace your old one for $67. If you are having problems with your old panel that would be the easiest, simplest way to go. Here is the part number for the 80-85 Vanagon fuse panel 111937505M. In order to install the newer version you would have to not only have a new version of the fuse panel, but also all of the gang plugs that attach to the back side and then figure out a new wiring scheme, cut and splice the gang plugs into the original wiring, and then depending on how good of a job you do with the wiring conversion, and the splicing, the new setup would be slightly better. Believe me the newer style panels get old and can have problems melting fuses, etc. as they age. A new panel will get rid of all of the resistance that has built up in the old panel and start off with a clean slate. Hope this helps you out. Ken Wilford John 3:16 www.vanagain.com
