Panel mount holder for Maxi fuses?

[hotponyshoes]

I've got a old battery charger with a handy jump start feature. Has both 12v and 24v outputs.

This originally had a holder on the front that held 2x 50a strip fuses. They were easily damaged and not easily available so I "fixed" it by clamping a maxifuse on the original bolts with a couple of washers.

After a few years of jump-starts the bolts have corroded and it's all melting.

Does anyone know of a panel mounting fuse holder that takes a Maxifuse or PAL fuse?
Or any other type of holder if I can find the fuses locally?

My first thought was just to fit a resettable breaker but I can't seem to find them in 100a?

Plenty of 100A 12/24v circuit breakers available for about £10, amazon and ebay are awash with them. Popular for car audio installs.
If you want a panel mount one Durite do them but they are about three times the price.

Surface mounted do you?

Midi fuses seem to be widely available (used them in our camper).

I've got plenty of surface mounted but that means extending the cables and fitting glands to the panel.

If I could find a panel mount I could just drill/cut a hole and connect the existing wires to the back of it.

My first thought was something like this but can't find a 100a version?

We use one similar to this at work.

I don't want to mount it on a panel, I want to mount it into a panel.
Or, at least, one of those with the cable entry at the rear

Durite do a toggle one like that (0-386-10), but the price is ridiculous.

They also do this, which is still pricey but more palatable if you shop around.
You will need to make a suitable cutout in the panel though, connections come out the back, see spec sheet for dimensions.

There is strong chance that I will have some large amperage surface or panel mount DC circuit breakers in my drawer at work, what sizes do you need ideally?
I am not back until Monday but I can ask someone to look for me tomorrow

Thanks! That looks like it should do the job nicely..

I already have some surface mount ones but if you have a panel mount (or rear entry surface mount) that would be ideal.
I only need one, anything around the 100a rating should be ok, I've got plenty of space to mount it. No hurry for it. Thanks!
