We have thousands of genuine Lucas/Unipart glass fuses in stock. Some
ratings are becoming uncommon but , with digging, can always be found here
in Australia and I presume in UK also.

When seeking replacements be aware that all English fuses are rated by their
nominal current capacity which is exactly 1/2 of the fuse absolute capacity,
ie a 25amp rated/stamped fused will "blow" at 50amps. There is still a short
time delay at the rated capacity, and I can provide the current/time graphs
if anyone is that interested. The old Lucas fuses had both the rated
capacity & blow capacity printed on the paper inside the glass tube. Later
versions have the rated capacity (only) stamped onto the metal end cap.
