LIke Cor, I just bolt a class T fuse to the battery terminal. They have a fiberglass body it seems, and do not separate when they blow. Whether are mechanically rated for this, doubtable, but it works, and I have blown them in this configuration, and no problems.
A proper fuse holder for a class T fuse is around the price you mentioned, with the two studs for the fuse, two studs for cables to attach, and the plastic shield.
