On several occasions, like today, I've wanted to
incorporate a hard-mounted ATC fuse into a chassis
assembly. There are probably surface mounted holders
out there . . . just didn't have one in the junk-bins.
I'll refer the interested readers to the fuseholder
pictures at:

The ATC_on_a_Bracket series shows what I discovered
when I ground off the "inert" meat on the fuse holders
I have on hand. This exploration revealed that for this
particular device, there was .400" of inert plastic on
butt side of the fuse holder.
A few minutes work in the shop produced a bracket and
attach method that solved the problem du jour. Thought
I'd add it to the shared AeroElectric bag of tricks . . .

Interesting! Looks like this could be a rather useful discovery.

Not all holders have that much free plastic and you'll
want to sand away the proposed mounting meat to make
sure no fuse wiring extends into the boss.
I considered just bonding this holder to the bracket but
wasn't sure about storage temperature extremes. Decided
to bond it to fixture and then re-enforce the bond
with screws.

I suppose if you used wood or metal screws you would not need a nut to
secure the bracket to the ATC holder?

The holder body is solid plastic. I suppose you
could use self tapping screws in the plastic . . .
but machine nuts on a screw are much more secure.
You can thread-lock them with super glue.

Thanks Stu, and these have the added benefit of not having to splice into
pre-assembled PVC lead wires.

That's a great idea- you could also cut away the little circular bits on the
side and gang the fuses in a row...
