I wish you guys would use my correct picture.

Also, something tells me that you guys would love owning one of the second picture for Christmas. LOL.

As shown in the photo, in order to add a fuse to an empty slot, a pig tail and a double-female terminal need to be added. Both can only be pushed in from the bottom. Pig tail is no issue. But the double-female terminal is not easy. Basically, the Power Distr Box needs to be stripped of wires and bus bar. The approach is noble, but not practical. I recommend against it.

Whitey...will those fit under the cover in the PDB? I've never used this style, just the straight fuse taps and such.

Unfortunately not, mine didn't anyway. Well, I guess you could hold the cover on another way. Hillbilly/Redneck it with a rubber band maybe(see what I did there). I'm referring to the cab block though.

Oh, I didn't realize that he was going under the hood.

My Expy had one in the panel under the dash (part of the GEM assembly) when I bought it for the stereo. What a wiring nightmare that was. It's long gone or I'd take a pic.

Okay, so did the cover fit, when you had one ? Do you remember ? That's the problem with those or what we are getting at lol. Mine didn't, but it was close. Personally, those are a no go for me because of that. An inline holder is no big deal, and it's quick. I bought a dozen of HD pigtailed inlines and go that route. Otherwise I would of piggybacked in the blocks, - if it wasn't a PITA or would worked. You would think it's a cleaner way to do it. Not really, it gets in the way used on a block. ..gets knocked out as well. Inline only way to go.
