Source for 30 amp ceramic fuse in the US?

[MLA]

As a recent owner of a Fulvia Sport, I am looking for a source in the US for the 30 amp ceramic Bosch style fuse. 16 amp fuses are plentiful, but sourcing a 30 amp fuse of this type is proving a challenge. Can I use a 25 amp fuse (easily found) in the place of a 30 amp?

I am not aware of any 30 Amp fuse in a Fulvia. Where is it?

I found the information in the Fulvia 2nd Series Coupe/Sport owner's instruction manual, page 31.

Thanks for the info. I looked it up. It lists even two 30 Amp fuses for the Zagato. The extra one must be for the electro motor in the rear.

Correct me if I am wrong. I am sitting at home in front of a computer screen. I am not in the shop. I guess one of the 30 Amp fuses is #9. The rear window heating is connected to #9 and that is a heavy current user. After all those years not all wires will be working. I would try the 25 Amp. The second 30 Amp fuse in the Zagato is probably #7 to which the electric motor at the rear is connected. You could also try the 25 Amp.

So, if you want to experiment with 25 Amp fuses I think it might work. Have some extra spares with you.
