They don't seem very popular now and mainly advertised for Marine use, they now only seem to be available from 5a to 30a you used to be able to buy them from Maplins but they don't stock them now.

Brilliant, thanks Alf. They're like circuit breakers for 12V. I have immediately order a set (5A 10A and 20A)

They are not quite the same as mine but as mine are very old now and still work OK I hope yours are as good as mine.
Remember if you change the van to remove and replace with fuses.
