Fuse holder with square tab blocking proper insertion (look closely at left lower corner of the fuse holder part):



Square tab routed out, after this the fuseholder will slide easily into the square peg in the fuse box:


Let us know if you're successful.
Unfortunately, it looks like my new fuse holder does not have the same shap as yours. As well, the only remaining fuse location also has an unusual (non-square) shape. I've attached pix. I've also purchased an Add-A-Circuit to move forward.
