Big boo-boo happened today...

So, eventually it was meant to happen... after all the mods so far went more or less smooth and without problems, I finally screwed up

I took the alternator out and, stupid me, didn't bother to disconnect the battery. Moronic, I know, it won't happen again. When I was putting it back, something happened, some wires touched each other somehow and I had a big spark. Nothing else, no white smoke, no funny smell, I disconnected the battery and finished reinstalling the alternator.

After some troubleshooting and research, I believe I blew one the main fuses that sits on the positive terminal of the battery, #52 in my manual, called ALT 120 A and it's responsible for half the car's electronics...

Those 2 fuses are funny looking and I was wondering where can I find replacements? Pepboys, Autozone or does only Toyota have those?
