The worst that can happen is you will blow the fuse if you overload the circuit. You can also get a resettable circuit breaker that will screw into the fuse base. Just make sure to use the right amperage fuse/breaker for the wire size. 12ga.=20 amps 14ga.= 15 amps.
I don't have a pic here, but here's a pic of a similar setup. What I'm looking for is the fiber "disc" in the base of the top left socket (red arrow pointing to it) that's secured by that single screw in the center. The other components of the socket are good, it's that insulator material i'm trying to find.


Looking for a pic I came across this and couldn't help but laugh.

For those that can't read it:
