My book says 50 & 35, but those are 'Lucas' fuse ratings, US fuse
ratings are roughly half that value. I use AGC 25 for the horns, and
AGC 20 for the switched ignition circuit.

5 amps (US rating) will do, 1 will not. The load on that fuse is 4
tail/side lamp filaments at 6 watts each, plus 8 indicator lamp
filaments (including the two license plate lamp bulbs) at 2.2 watts
each. (Using the bulb ratings from the owner's manual, I don't have my
modern bulb reference handy.) Total 42 watts, which is about 3 amps (at
14v where these filaments are usually rated), but you need a little
margin above that, and a readily available fuse, so 5 amps.
Note that even a 20 amp fuse achieves the desired effect, almost any
short will blow it in a hurry.
