Is there room to add a 10A fuse to make this a safe multimeter?

Not a lot of room to play with, especially if you plan on installing any kind of fuse holder as well. The plastic case is not very strong or sturdy either. More of a hobby project for a beginner, than a heavy use device. My opinion.

I don’t see a tab on the 8 pin transistor. also what goes in the r* slot in the pcb (above the shunt)?

A location pin is not required so just solder the socket in to PCB. The r* position is not used in this kit. Elenco
