Hi Colin

yet another quick reply ;) yeah it fits the pcb up on its side but 
you have confirmed what i guessed and that is that its a one off 
fuse that will need replacing if it ever blows...hopefully no need 
for that! My soldering is pretty neat etc so i should be fine.
Funny that mouser pointed to this part when they had exactly the 
right part elsewhere on the site just under a differnt part number.
Thanks again for the quick response.

cheers
Brett
