Will this work, 30 amp motor fuse with in-line fuse holder should serve the same purpose

Patrick L. · 03-31-2021, 05:53 PM

Sure, and it looks cleaner.

Bill G · 03-31-2021, 09:52 PM

Yes, just as effective.

It will work. Some of the in-line fuse holders loose conductivity after a while. A little electrical grease will help, available at any hardware store. Same is true with the usual fuse holder that is normally used.

Looks Good! Will function just fine!

Looks great, but I prefer an in-line circuit breaker. If a fuse is blown, the system is down until it is replaced. A circuit breaker re-sets itself in a few seconds, and may let your lights and/or ignition stay on until you can get off the road to find the problem.

"A little electrical grease will help" Most common electrical grease is non conductive and is used a moisture barrier. The connection still relies on metal to metal contact between the parts. If they are are loose, the electrical grease is not going to help.

Just a little question on the pix in the OP, please. Not to criticize, but want too learn... is the battery cable side lug (flag terminal) and cable routing like original? It sure looks neat.

Driving's a blast, a blast from the past.
