Carl,
The off-the-shelf fuseblocks I stock and recommend have pretty
generous spacing between devices. A two row by 10 slot fuse holder
has a mounted footprint of about 3" x 5". You may be confusing
the ATC series fuses with a later, subminiature fuse (ATO?)
showing up on some cars. These fuses are indeed more difficult
to work with from a maintenance standpoint. A few of my readers
have used these fuses in thier airplanes by salvaging a fuse-holder
and harness from an automobile. The result was a VERY compact installation.
I don't recommend this because you have to salvage the existing harness
and use butt-splices to incorporate it into your airplane.
The fuseholders I'm talking about will appear shortly in our
catalog at <www.aeroelectric.com/Catalog/catalog.html>. I'm
a little miffed that the mail order houses haven't caught on with
this product. Right now, distributors want to sell you a box of
10 fuse holders. I asked B&C to stock them several years ago and
we'll be stocking them shortly. Take a look at the pictures,
I think you'll find that concerns you wrote about are nicely
addressed.
