1957 Headlight Switch - Fuse

[Rogvh]

Does anyone know of a source for the 7 1/2 amp fuse that installs on the back of the switch for interior lights? It needs to be 7/8" long to work with the incapsulated ends. 1 1/4 " long fuses are available but won't fit (max of about 1"). I have looked at the typical auto parts store as well as hardware stores. Tried Amazon which shows all the things you don't ask for. Grainger and the like show them but not in stock. Any suggestions?

That fuse is for the map light. I couldn't find the right length fuse either but just bent the top of the holder up a bit and the contacts still fit on the shoulders of the fuse. All good but not correct.
