I am restoring my 72 MGB and it requires 6 17/35 fuses and I had a few in my parts bin which were proper 17/35 with the Moss part number 146-700 and they were about 5 years old. I needed more and the same part number Moss shipped 35 amp fast blow fuses which would destroy my wiring system if a problem occurred.
I did some research and the only part number I could find was Littelfuse 313015. It was difficult to find a supplier with this part number. It is a slow blow fuse with 15 amp continuous and time current curves give failure at 4 sec/35 amp and 7 sec/30 amp.
The number 313015 now has extensions after the number of .MXP or HXP etc but looking at the data gives no differences in the parts. The only Canadian supplier I could find was www.digikey.ca and I ordered a quantity of ten (313015.MXP). The price landed at my door with shipping + taxes was $2.58 each.
This is an alternative to the hard to find 17/35 amp fuses.

Excellent research Tim. I have a good collection from many years ago but was thinking about soldering modern fuses of the correct range to the ends of burnt out glass fuses.

I agree this is an excellent piece of research. Just happens I could use some myself so I will be placing an order. Thanks Tim.
