I use three P.C. board mount type fuse clips soldered to the end of a 6 AWG
flexible cable. If you bend the little indented tabs out to match the
curvature of the rest of the fuse clip, then they will fit .25" copper
tubing like a glove. There are also larger sized fuse clips out there that
will accommodate larger diameter primarys. The 60 Amp variety comes to mind
for the .5" copper tubing.
