Ceramic fuses, What are they worth to ya? Options

[914Wes]

I found a stash of ceramic fuses in 8, 16, and 25 amp. About 2-300 of each are available. I was wondering what do you guys figure spare fuses are worth now that they are not being made in ceramic anymore. How would you guys like to purchase spares? I could make them into complete set of 12 for the fuse panel, 1 of each needed depending on year, or perhaps just small 5 packs like the 911 did it with 3 x 8 amp fuses, 1x 16 amp, 1 x 25 amp? Obviously not trying to do this to get rich but would need to make it worth my time to repack/ship fuses.

I have in an emergency wrapped a burned out fuse in aluminum foil to get going.

I'm missing the point of using ceramic fuses. I drive my 914 all the time and can't remember the last time I had to replace a burned fuse.

If you read the details they are plastic fuses offered for cheap. They often melt and lead to issues and often have a cheap aluminum conductor. I would be offering NOS fuses from 70s.

Littlefuse datasheets for their GBC fuses list them as being ceramic/heat resistant bodies as well?

The first link red and blue fuses do appear to be ceramic. The hard to find 8 amp white fuses are no wheres to be found in large stock numbers. Checking the part number for the fuses from littelfuses on mouser they are listed as "Thermoplastic" not ceramic. If you can find a source for actual ceramic at retail I would love it but so far I have not.

I would love to have a little cardboard box made up similar to the 356 fuse packaging but with room for 15/16 fuses.
