    Well, my next step will be to check auto zone.  I am sure I can get on 
line and find out where there's one around here.

If I can't find one amp fuses there, maybe I'll just have to go with the two 
ampers for a while.

I just don't want to damage my tw1, tw2, or ARB704 if there is a problem, by 
using a higher amperage fuse than required.

It was a napa, but napa isn't always the same as another napa, they're all
usually owned in groups, like the guy who owns the one around me has 4 or 5
more in RI, and if you go to another one they might not be quite the same as
the ones around me. I guess I should say the local napa group.
