Hello Lloyd, Go to a motor shop and pick up some insulator board. Measure the fuse width and length. Lets say the fuse mounting holes are 4 inches apart and the fuse is 2 inches wide. Get a board that is about 6 inches long and 3 inches wide. Pick up two brass motor studs or get them from a hardware store. Also get four nuts, 6 washers, and 2 lock washers.
The board should at least be 3/4 to 1 inch thick. Drill the two holes for the brass studs which will be inserted from the head of the bolt on the bottom side. Drill a recess in the hole of the board so the head of the bolt will be flush with the bottom of this board. Use another insulator board about 1/4 inch thick that is also 6 inches long and 3 inches wide to cover the head of the bolts. Before putting on this bottom cover over the head of the bolts, install the bolt studs through the 3/4 inch board, place a flat washer over the stud and tighten on one nut to at least 35 ft lbs for a 3/8 bolt, or 50 ft lbs for a 1/2 inch bolt. Now install the cover plate over the head of the bolt. This stud type fuse holder than can be mounted to any surface using a bolt faster in each corner of the insulator board. When attaching a fuse to this fuse holder, first place another washer over the stud that goes on top of the nut, than the fuse, the wire terminal, another washer, a lock washer, and than the nut. The total length of the bolt stud should have at least 3 threads showing after you install the nut. Make care full measurements in selecting the correct length bolt.

The description has not helped me find to find a fuse block that I can say with confidence will actually fit my fuse and mount on the firewall or somewhere else under the hood in the vechile. I have found a few that I think would work for the $60-$75 range but I hesitate to spend that much when I am not sure. Also should I have to spend that much for a fuse block?? I am looking at under 140 volts 600 amps. *FERRAZ CARBONE A025R600 600A 600 AMP 250VAC/DC FUSE* # Make: Carbone-Ferraz # Model / Part #: A025R600 # Description: Semiconductor Fuse; 600A (Six Hundred Amps, 600 A), 250VAC/250VDC; F Speed, Form 101 Class # Includes all/only items pictured. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
