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

f. 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. Covered above
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
