Me too, but to preserve an original look (since on a TR3A the fuses are
in plain sight) I like to open up one end of the fuse by heating the
cap, slip in a piece of paper simulating a period Lucas fuse, then
button it up again.
For anyone with long winter nights and nothing better to do here are
suitable labels you can print. They look big but should print in the
correct size.

I believe the 50a were on yellow paper and the 35a were on white paper
that has usually turned to beige thru the years -- a bit of tea or
coffee brings out the right tone perhaps.
You may need an AGC 20 as Randall suggests, but if you can get by with
an AGC 14 you may find it has a slightly shorter length similar to the
old Lucas fuses.
