Glass inline fuse holder terminals...???

[ecksrash]

I'm building a wire harness and want to avoid splicing to a pre terminated inline glass fuse holder. I just think my wire harness would look much cleaner without a few extra splices. I've looked all over for terminal ends that will work with the inline glass fuse holders. Any one have a source??? Thanks for any info

...but if you simply must use inline fuses why not update to ATO style ("blade") fuses? There are holders for them with integral crimping barrels that'll make for the cleanest look possible...here's a couple examples.

Cheaper uncapped syle - not sure of wire gauge they'll fit:

My son's done some custom wiring jobs which incorporated auxiliary fuse panels from Blue Sea Systems (designed for marine use, they're more than adequate for automotive). They offer a wide range of sizes, here's their smallest:

And one that mounts directly to the battery cable clamp:

Thanks for that, but I'd prefer to stay with the inline type of fuse holder. If I could find the end terminals I'd be elated!!!

PN 5062 is more what I'm looking for, BUT IF I could FIND JUST THE WIRE END TERMINALS THAT WOULD WORK WITH PN5062 I'D BE VERY HAPPY!

look up Waytek automotive fuses and terminals. Ray

IF the ends (connectors) are "standard"...

I try to avoid inline glass fuse holders when ever possible....

One of the things to consider with inline fuse holders is the mass (weight) that is there. Unless the wire is supported (tied down to a solid) close to both ends of the fuse and holder if you are bouncing along, off-road for instance, you are working the wire to fuse join at each end of the fuse holder which can lead to stress fracture (worry the metal strands to fail) the wire over time. It is one of the reasons I stopped using them (I have one exception, my CB, and it isn't being used any more so I haven't fixed the problem).

It is something you usually don't think about until it is pointed out to you.
