CFR2 Field Coil Fuse - Mark - 03-03-2018
Does anyone know a source for the small 6 amp field coil fuse or suitable automotive 6 amp fuse wire for the CFR2 Voltage regulator?

The correct short 6 amp fuses seem to be like hens teeth, there are plenty 10 amp ones around but I don't like exceeding the makers rating so I use domestic plug 5 amp ones which are the correct length. Now I suppose there will be screams of horror at this.

I use a 5 amp glass fuse that I bought at the local car electrician here in Fribourg, Switzerland.
If the fuse is good for 240v I think it's OK for 6 or 12v. I read somewhere that the other way round can be dangerous since arcing may occur when the fuse blows.
