I need a fuse case. Its a little clam shell deal that both holds the wires together and covers the fuse.
the OEM part is no longer available 32120-323-000
anybody know what else will do the job (don't say tape). somebody has to make something similar...

All the cheapie auto stores (AutoZone, Advance Auto Parts, etc) have an "electrical" section where they all carry various types of in-line fuse holders. Usually for just a couple bucks each. Buy 'em, splice 'em in, and yer done.
I replaced the OEM fuse holders (there are 3 fuses in the 'block') on my CB360 that way. No more issues! Not "original" anymore, though, of course...

Go the auto part store and get one of those little circuit breakers and splice it in, get rid of the fuse completely.
These fuses are a metric size, believe it or not - normal US fuses don't quite fit right, this can lead to problems.
The little breakers are just a few bucks, and they're great - during a trouble shooting session you can burn through a LOT of fuses ($$$), with a breaker you'll never have to worry about it again.
Like on this 450 - the blue thing in the holder is actually a fuse, but the breaker plugs into the same holder.
I blew a bunch of glass fuses , then wired this in and blew a bunch of these auto fuses during a session, finally got PO'd and put a breaker in.
Just don't have a photo of the actual breaker.

like that? if the link doesn't work its this little booger "Dorman/Conduct-Tite 30 Amps circuit breaker with glass fuse clips". That would clip right in. Im assuming I just match amps and roll with it.

You break off a section of the tabs (too long), plugs right into an auto type fuse holder (also from Autozone). _________________ Bill Lane - CB200-CM200-CB450-C70M-CL350
