    MEM TP&N Switched Fuse Question

    Hi, I have a 32A TP&N MEM Switched Fuse, I really could do with a 63A. Question, can you just change the fuses? Or do I need to buy a whole new unit? If need a new one, is anyone selling one? Also, I have 10mm tails into the 32A unit, can I get 16mm into the 63A does anyone know? Cheers.
