I need some AGS fuses for my 170 which are very hard to find. I bought some (I thought) from Yingling using the P/N S1091 (I found an old thread on the 170 site saying this was the P/N for AGS fuses). You must buy them in a pack of 5, the price is about $10, which I thought wasn't too bad. Then I found out that it's $10 PER FUSE. And I need a 10, 15, and 20 AMP (I really only NEED a 15 amp but I want extras for the other sizes). This means a minimum order of 15 fuses at a price of $150! I bit the bullet and ordered these thinking it was the only option. I just received the package in the mail and was VERY upset to see they sent me AGC fuses! If I wanted those I could have drove to the auto parts store and bought them for less than $1.50 each. These are the wrong size and don't work anyways. Does anyone out there know of a source to buy AGS fuses?

What are the dimensions of the AGS fuses?

I just did a quick google search and found some on ebay and amazon. THe stuff on ebay was described as NOS in 5packs for $10 for all 5.

Thanks Pete, I just found some at online at a electronics surplus store. Hopefully they send me the right ones!

I had luck with Amazon and Ebay, but it's been a while.

I wonder if it might be cheaper, esp in the long run, to convert to fuseholders that take an AGC fuse? Or just make the switch to circuit breakers?

When my airplane was down for the new engine 11 years ago, I had my IA convert the generator to an alternator and the fuses to circuit breakers--he made a nice subpanel which is mounted under the panel for them. I still have a couple of things that are on fuses, but nothing critical, and they use standard automotive fuses.

BTW, McFarlane has all of those fuses.
