We found a store that sold them ( http://jttproducts.com/showcase.shtml ), we bought a hundred, but it does not sell more. So if you know a store. I will be in the USA in L.A. and Las Vegas in April for the M.A.T.S., I'll buy 200 parts for our club.

I have update my fuse box years ago.I have another car im working on but i don't want to rewire that one leaving box stock.Would like something easy to switch back to stock.Then who sells the circut breaker type?
Yes,
it is similar to the fuse pic in the OP, however it has a circuit breaker that will reset when overloaded, simply snaps inplace of the fuse.

Not exactly the same, I bought them at Murray's, which is now O Reilly, about 6 yrs ago. I will try to find a part number/ manufacturer tomorrow.

I found a different one. from american innovation corp. couldn't find a website. can't find any contact info though. thought I had it cause there is an american innovatin"S" corp with an s at the end... not the same.. It was shown on some car review website... with no reviews. http://www.carreview.com/mfr/american-innovation-corp/misc-parts/PRD_412350_1599crx.aspxInstead of searching for "glass fuse adapter" I had much better luck with "AGC to ATO fuse adapter"

Yes, american corp innovation was the dealer where we bought this adapter but now it's closed. The website is closed : http://www.aicorp.us/order/eShopping.htmI sent an email to The best connection JTTproducts and they answered me that they had discontinued this part number.

are you trying to change them for availability in Europe or for another reason ?
availability in Europe, maybe not in car parts stores, but YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO FIND THEM at electronic shops ( kinda radioshack, or electronic parts shops where you buy integrated circuits, transistors etc... ). LOT OF Electrical devices use the same car units... big glass ones. I know mostly european electrical devices uses small ones, but still lot more use the big glass ones

These glass tube fuses are difficult to change, you can break them by removing from the fuse box and you know it is always in the night or when it's raining that you have to remove it.  . So it's easier with this adapter.

Seems like a nice upgrade, but how often do you need to replace a fuse? Depends on how often you are in the bad part of town, at night, with it raining buckets and dead batteries in your flashlight.

Well if it's night and you don't have a flashlight, your not changing that ATM fuse either..... On a side note, I wonder why they only specify it for GM?

If you have the ATM fuse that lights up when it blows you could (built in LED).

If you’re constantly changing blown fuses, breaker style.
I’d prefer the mini blade adapter, but can’t find those, might be discontinued?

If you’re constantly changing blown fuses, breaker style. if you are constantly blowing fuses, i would look into just WHY the fuses are constantly blowing, before the "magic smoke" escapes from the harness just before the flames appear !  X2 . . . fuses are in circuit to protect for overload and short circuit . . . typically in our cars, it is usually a short circuit that creates the problem ! (hot wire against ground) . . . fix the problem and don't blame the fuse !

The company stopped making the rubber type. I located these. They actually work better and can expand to shorten to different lengths.www.thingsnotable.com [img] http://www.thingsnotable.com[/img]

So it's $70 for 12 of these shipped, still wondering why it's needed?
I've had my car 20+ years and have NEVER replaced a fuse, or any other car for that matter. Never had to replace fuse..  Consider yourself lucky.  The older style glass fuses are harder to find nowadays. Also a glass fuse can actually be open after constant surges as its internal element can fatigue and eventually be open. In our older cars a fuse can blow easily if a hot wire is grounded or even a shorted switch... The later blade fuses are available everywhere, so the Flex Fuse is a kool idea. Note they are cheaper on E-Bay @ $5 each... See below link.. Just my $0.02... https://www.ebay.com/itm/325389527067

So EBay is even worse than the website, $20 for 3…..….................... Harbor Freight still sells the "old" fuses, bought a mega pack for <$10 bucks several years ago, And I will admit I did have to use 1, it broke when I was removing to change, when I bought a new harness. 60 for $8 https://www.harborfreight.com/60-piece-agc-glass-automotive-fuse-set-67692.html

I know few years back Harbor Freight sold some thst were not blowing.
The consensus was don't buy them.
Do not know if that is still the same but see plenty bulk type packs of all kinds glass, plastic in bulk on eBay, Amazon etc.
I do know I spent a ton on M&H main Harness, Engine Bay, Trans, Forward Light and Rear Light Group
Would suck to not pop a fuse and burn the car down.
Do all fuses come from the same places now China?
Thoughts as I have used up most of my stash on friends cars and working at friends body shop.
Don't know 
I would suggest buying name rand fuses like Bussman, Llittlefuse etc. They can usually be ordered by your local parts store, bendover NAPA OR Try the electronic supply houses like Allied, Arrow, Mouser, Newark, Digi Key etc. as suggested by myself and another PSST! you'll find the supply houses MUCH CHEAPER. One can also shop the bay & AMZ but MAKE SURE you're not getting a knocked up (off) version

Electronics 101A teaches you that every connection is a potential problem. Avoid them when possible 
Should also mention using adapters is adding two more connections in the circuit. Electronics 101a teaches one to avoid added connections whenever possible 
and created some unexpected meltdowns. I have bought name brand glass fuses from several sources including Napa and other stores. they may not be in stock but can be ordered. Ebay and AMZ are other sources as well as previously mentioned electronic supply places.
