Connecting a Fuse

I decided to add a fuse to the beepy chargemobile. I was looking for a way to connect it. Then I found a metal clip from a pants hanger on the floor. It was perfect so I asked Mom if I could use another one. Then I found a piece of wood from the first maker faire I went to. It was part of a rubber band car kit that was cut out on a CNC router. The notches are perfect for the metal clips which hold the fuse. The adapter can actually supply .9 amps, which is .1 amps more than it's rated for. But I decided to put in a .7 amp fuse because I only had .4, .7, and others that were way too large. It also works as an emergency shutoff because the fuse is not held in very securely.
