    On my 1950 Buick Special one of the fuse "holders" (metal prong where the fuse clamps into) is missing a metal prong on one side. I am wondering how hard of a repair this will be? Has anyone ran into a issue like this? Is there an easy fix?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated
    Thanks

    Look at Keystone Electronics (www.keyelco.com). They have various fuse holder clips that might work in your application.

    Rubber band?
    wrap a naked wire around the fuse and prong?
    soldier fuse to it?

    or do it the way it came and replace it.
