You might be able to solder a pair of clips directly to the board
depending on how much room exists and how the board was designed. I've
often replaced pigtail fuses used in PC power supplies with clips and a
standard 20mm fuse. They make 2 versions of these clips, IIRC. One has the
2 pins in line with the fuse, the other has the 2 pins on each side of the
clip.
