Title: Glass fuse adapter
Post by: chal340 on February 03, 2017, 09:58:40 AM
6 years ago I found this adapter to use blade fuse instead of glass fuse. Many friends asked me this adapter but the company has closed.
And today I found new. I don't remember but 6 years there were less expensive.  :dunno:

You can find them here :

That's pretty slick!!!  I've busted my fair share of the glass ones.

Looks cool but how much of a pain in the ASS would it be to install?   :thinking:

Looks like they snap right in to the stock bulk head?  Right?  So should be super easy.

Yes, You put it in place of the glass fuse and after the balde fuse. It's easier to change them whent they are dead.

Resurrecting this old thread to see if anyone has been able to find these lately? Seems like all the links to the different sites are dead. Thanks in advance

I looked at this too, neat concept, but unless the price was right, I'll pass.
In the last 20yrs I only changed a fuse once, on any car.
And that was when it was my fault installing an aftermarket radio without disconnecting the battery.

My use case for it would be slightly different. Want to convert a fuse from glass to blade so I can use a fuse tap. The glass tube fuse taps are pretty bad

Little bit of work, but you could make your own.
Get this holder and solder it to a copper rod sized to the glass fuse.

I know this is an older post however i thought some may be interested. I tried to locate the CH30265 type. No luck. Found a better version at www.thingsnotable.com

I must have missed this on the first go around...that's a pretty cool idea, the glass ones are getting harder to find and harder to see with my old eyes... :rubeyes:

I think there is one "i" too many in the web address above.   This link should work:
