I recall it being said one needs ceramic body with a copper (or at some amp-ages brass) fuse link. If the fuse link is aluminum then it will interact with the copper/brass fuse box contacts and generate heat. &c. &c.

autospark looks good. Does anyone know, are the fuse links copper, brass or other metal?

EDIT: Oh and does anyone have information to help a choice between Hella vs Flosser brand from autospark please?

The eBay seller in fairness actually says the fuse links are copper, and is taking the trouble to supply modest quantities. I hope that I never need 100 of any size of car fuse.

An alternative approach is to convert to blade fuses or even circuit breakers. At a price and a fair amount of work I should think.
