Why do you need a replacement fuseholder? Did someone smack the old one with a hammer? The cap is missing? Something else? The actual solution might vary depending on the actual situation.

So, you need the screw in cap for the fuse holder on the right hand side of this image? (Item # 40)

Right, it's #38. The fuse description is the starting point for this. The description of #38 says 5x20mm, which I think is a GMA fuse.

Locate an electronic parts supply house. There used to be more than there are now, but there must be one within driving distance. Or this is the time to lean on the friendship you have with a repair company.

Take the unit in, carefully slap it down on their glass counter, and tell them you need THIS fuseholder. Point. Remove the cap, if you have it. Be ready for them to ask you why you need a new one.

I recently had to replace the cap on a GMA fuseholder on a 110 to 220V converter, and I thought no problem -- I got another fuseholder that looked the same, then went to screw it on -- it didn't fit. I need to take out the old fuseholder and put the new one in. You can't count on fuseholders that look the same to be the same.
A good answer is easier with a clear question giving the make and model of everything.
