Switches and whatnot sourcing

Switches and whatnot sourcing
Right, i've got big plans for my new (to me) LR 90.
its a 1986, Pickup--> SW conversion with a retrofitted 200tdi.
i'm picking up a raptor dash (Defender & S111 Console Dash) in a few weeks with custom cutouts n whatnot for the radio and many switches and gauges etc.
what i'm wondering is, where am i going to physically source the power for the items? obviously the battery, but is there a point on the fusebox i can maybe add to, or is there empty space on the loom?
i've only been driving it a few days, and its been arctic style chilly out here, so haven't had a peek myself.
but a helping hand/ headstart from the experts can't go wrong, right?
cheers in advance, Rik

Depends on what your switches are powering... If they are going to be high current then I would run a dedicated power feed from the batt to another fuse block of some sort.
AutoZone sells a nice 100A weatherproof circuit breaker and Ive used these fuse blocks in the past:
