Glass fuse adaptor

If you hate glass fuses this seems like pretty neat idea.

If you can't find a glass fuse, here's a handy chart that shows possible substitutions-
https://pbs.twimg.com/media/BhvPBTwIIAA-bfm.jpg
The "fleet"-
72 Vega HB Drag Car -383/'Glide/9"(9.35@146.19)(5.94@117.28 1/8th)
77 Vega Estate wagon- project(someday)will have TPI305/T-5, S-10 spindles/axles
76 Vega GT- 400/4spd/9" retired from active duty(rusty)
06 Silverado 2WD ex.cab daily
03 Silverado 2WD ex.cab (retired)
06 Haulin' 20ft enclosed car transporter
06 GMC Canyon Shop truck
07 Colorado project( 5.3 4L60e swap)
99 Saturn SL1- wife's car
01 Saturn SC2- son's project
07 Saturn Ion Redline project
and 4 more Saturn "parts cars"
Note- the very act of listing all of these has made me realize I have some kind of problem.....

There was another chart I saw somewhere but could not find last night that had a 5th possible substitute; a 22 cal rifle round, and it was listed as "audible report of open circuit".

Another alternative is to do what I did in my younger days, wrap the fuse with the foil from a cigarette pack, Marlboro is rated at 20 Amps and Winston will hold up to 25 Amps..

Cheap bastards.. :lol:

You have no idea of the amount of times I've seen exactly that in the fuse box of an older vehicle. Cigarette foil can last for many years and as long as there is no short circuit to test it's actual load carrying capability, it works fine. I have even seen it wrapped around a perfectly good fuse; I guess we can file that under "preventive maintenance".
