I'm having a tough time finding old school ceramic bodied fuses for my teener. I'm seeing NLA / out of stock a lot lately.

if you look closely at J bugs - description says "ceramic style" photos are of the thermoplastic ones.

the ceramic are no longer manufactured anywhere by anyone to the best of my info.
searching for NOS stock is about all you can do if you must have ceramic.

having said that there is thermoplastic and there is thermoplastic.
mercedessource (usa based) is a merc specialist who knows his stuff.
he sells a fuse kit on line to his customers.
i'd probably trust his stock of the new types of plastic fuses rather than any old ebay seller.
likely he has worked out the best of what is now available.
