Inge, I go with Blair on this one but that type of fuse has literally disappeared here. Not used in autos since 1990 or earlier. If fact it is very hard to buy a 1" glass tube fuse. You will likely have to buy 100 or 1000 to get them at any reasonable price each. So I think Blair is right on this but I would have never had the right answer. And you are correct that auto manufacturers used to find the most fiendish places to put the fuse blocks.
