MK3 - What fuse size?

[R2MUL]

1. My model of MX-5 is: 2006 MK3 2.0 Sport__
2. I’m based near: Cardiff
3. I’m looking for technical help or recommendations on: Fuse Sizes

Hi All,
Can anybody tell me what fuse sizes are in a Mk3 i.e. standard size, mini or micro?
I’m fitting a dashcam at the weekend and the hard-wiring kit doesn’t come with any fuse-taps. I was just about to order some on Amazon but it seems there are different sizes - but I’m at work and the car is at home.
Any ideas?

Thanks in advance

I bought something like this,which had a selection of piggyback fuse holders.

Thanks Barrie, really appreciate it. The footwell fuses look to be the standard ATC size so I’ll order those.

Frustratingly I’d already ordered and received the hard-wire, without relaising it didn’t come with any piggyback holders.

Footwell is the place to tap into for dashcam. The fuses are normal mini APM/ATM.

Engine bay box fuses are low profile mini APS, but normal mini APM/ATM will also fit.

It is worth adding extra ferrites either side of the 5V brick to preserve the DAB and FM reception.
