OK, _WHY_ did you do this, then?

Unless you're intending or needing to upgrade service from (say) 100
to 200A in view of an impending remodeling or other anticipated
increased loading or also replacing a 2-wire system w/ 3, what's the
point?

Agreed. Unless your fuse panel is failing, rusting, has broken parts, or
lack of capacity, I would vote to stay with it. I don't think new fuse
panels are made, so any replacement would have to be a circuit breaker
panel.
