The problem will be finding the exact right size otherwise - there are approximately four million known fuseholder designs, and they're all different in subtly clever ways which make none of the parts compatible with any other.
The next problem is that you also probably have a blown power valve or rectifier.

I had the amp completely rebuilt by Barry Vyse. Sounds staggeringly good now. However, likely a legacy from the previous owner, but wrong value fuse was in play. 0.5a instead of 2a. So hoping valves are all still good. Have spares anyway....
Valves being brand new makes it more likely that one is faulty, rather than less... but hard to tell with a possibly marginal fuse value.

Marshall doing so on the JTM45 when Fender didn't on the 5F6-A is one of the only times Marshall got something right that Fender got wrong...
