Clever blade-type in-line fuse holder

[4xdog]

Looking through the end-November 2009 mailer from Moss Motors for restoration stuff for my 1962 Triumph TR3B (TSF202L), I noticed this neat inline fuse holder that takes blade type plug in fuses. Probably available elsewhere, but this is the first I've seen this item.

Powerwerx has a wide variety of these type of fuse holders. Plus, they also have a huge selection of the wonderful Anderson PowerPole connectors as well as all kinds of high-quality wire for automotive use. Its a shop that I keep high up in my bookmarks.

Been to Autozone or Checker lately Those are actually extremely common, harnesses from IPF, ARB, Hello, to name a few include those and you can buy them from your corner parts store or places like Waytec, etc.

I've found the ones from Powerwerx (good guys to deal with, btw) or Anchor or BlueSea to be FAR better quality than the ones at the local parts stores (including NAPA). YMMV.

Well, to tell you the truth, I haven't been to Autozone or Checker lately. With vehicles like my 2008 Lexus RX and 2001 Tacoma DC, parts runs are a thing of the past (smile). The TR hasn't taken to the roads in years (although may again before it's upcoming 50th), but it's a little beyond the corner auto store...

Thanks for the powerwerx.com link. One can often find just about everything one might need from Mouser, as well, if one has the energy to find it in their massive catalog.

How does one navigate to a 'components' section of their site?

I've been getting mine at AutoZone and Radio Shack for awhile. They have them for the large fuses and mini blades.

The fuse holder that I've been using for 5+ years on Patch for it's shell light power is this one:

It lives under the bed at the RF corner and is exposed to what ever weather & debris is kicked up there. No issues, no worries.

These are on all my vehicles, some for many hard years......

This will save you time trying to find either fused power (wipers, heated seats, power windows, etc.) or constant power (lights, horn, etc.) and it doesn't matter how many amps the original circut was.
