Use a standard 3AG fuse in place of the short 8AG HV fuse
The AS-2518-22 HV fuse is a short 8AG 3/16 A fast-blow that can be hard to find. Move the upper fuse clip to the existing hole nearer the board edge and run a wire from it back to the old pad; it will then hold a 1.25 inch 3AG fuse. A full-size holder soldered in also works.
