A high percentage of the inline types I'v used for car radios
have failed with the plastic cracking, so that the assembly flys
apart, leaving a hot lead dangling.

I'm not a purist and would have no problem with added fuseholders,
on the rear panel if neatly done. If the modules are all orignal,
rather than a depot dawg, it could possibly affect the resale
value.
