Possible option for those "short" fuses

On X's with the ceramic "bullet" ("Euro style") fuses, there are two short ones for the headlight pods: They have not been available for a long time so getting replacements is difficult at best. There have been a few ideas how to substitute, modify, or otherwise get around them. But I may...

Karl (@kmead) posted a link, see this thread. It looks like they are only shipping to Europe, though.

I can ask my wife where she gets her short fuses if I wanna sleep in the garage, again.

I really like the approach of changing them to long versions of the fuses or add a fuse holder for a modern fuse. Continuing to use things which are in short supply is asking for trouble to me.

Agreed. I posted how the "tangs" that hold the fuses are easily removed and replaced on these fuse boxes. All you need is two of the "long fuse" style tangs from a spare fuse box. Then swap them for the two short ones (only one per fuse is needed). That way they will utilize the same 'long' fuses as the rest.

Would love to get a couple. Have to find an old dead fuse box and get a couple of brass clips to convert to the long ones

Much easier to find the clips from a old fuse box than the short fuses.

You can also take the fuse material off a long fuse and stick it on a short body by folding it a little (don't let the folds touch).

Do you have any you would sell?

Let me know if you find any

Not at the moment, sorry. But there's been one or two listed in the "for sale" section recently.

Didn’t have long to look everywhere but found a couple stubby 3A.
