Is there a solid fuse-like item that I can use in place of a fuse, to bypass it?

Hi All,

instead of using a "gourmet" fuse in certain situations, I want to bypass the fuse entirely with a solid piece of metal. I also want to avoid soldering-in a piece of wire in the fuse’s place.

Are there solid pieces of silver or copper, the same size as a fuse, that i can swap into a fuse holder?

copper tubing, like used as water line to a freezer ice maker - 1/4 inch OD

Stuff it with some damping material, or silicone...or beeswax

Folks could start by getting rid of a connector at one end by hardwiring power cords to their component, like in the old days.  No rules broken.   I did that with an amp that Steve McCormack rebuilt for me (not my current monos).  However, power cord sales might suffer.
