Question Fuse Box Terminals?

I'm planning on installing an alarm, upgrading my main distribution wiring and rewiring my fog lamps. Instead of adding auxiliary fuse holders--which takes up space and be an obvious tip-off for a thief--I'd like to use the empty fuse spaces on the fuse blocks.

In the engine bay fuse box, connections are made using a female disconnect, using a non-standard 8.6mm width (which I have not found a source for). I haven't removed the interior fuse box yet (I'm planning on removing the entire interior for the alarm install and other upgrades).

Are there any terminals that will work with these fuse boxes?

I searched the forum and found the part number you originally posted; A27580CT-ND, and it's currently priced at 14 dollars for a pack of 100. Honestly, I thought I scoured their search engine looking for those non-standard width terminals.

Thank you.

That covers the engine bay fuse box. What about the interior fuse box? Do you have any specifications for the ATC blade terminals?

Wow, they went way up since I last ordered them.

Yes they have, but at 14 cents per terminal, that's pretty cheap.

I checked out WayTek Wire (and ordered their catalog) for the ATC blade terminals. They look correct, but will they fit the interior fuse box? Are there any write-ups or specifications for the interior fuse box?

The WayTek item numbers are 30038 (20-18), 31037 (16-14), and 32036 (12-10) meant for a fuse holder.
