I'm just waiting for a distribution board with integeral busboard (So all of the accessories connect to the new board rather than messing about with seperate earths), and then I'll connect it up. All of the wiring is more or less ready at home (just need to cut to length whilst fitting), so I'll take some photos tonight and post up. I'll also post a basic wiring diagram for others to follow if they wish.
I did this on my brother in laws VFR, and I'm doing it on my new Daytona this weekend, but as all the accessories already had thier own in-line fuses, I didn't use a fuse board, I just used a straight through 30 amp distribution block, and wired the appliances into that. Cutting off the inline fuses and wiring straight into a separate fuse board is a nice neat solution though.

That reminds me, I need to make a visit to Maplin before this weekend!
