For those of you with a 73 - 76 TR6, I need a favor.  

I had several gauge bulbs that were bad and I recently replaced them.  The
bottom fuse in the fuse box protects this wiring.  I've noticed, that after
having the lights turned on for about 5 to 10 minutes, the ends of the fuse
are very hot to the touch.  I checked the current flow and it reads 5.2 amps
which is normal per Dan Masters' book.

If you have a second, could you please turn on your parking lights for 5 to
10 minutes, pop off your fuse cover and put your finger on either end of the
bottom fuse clip?  I'm trying to see if that fuse getting hot is normal, or
do I have a bigger issue.  I'm reluctant to drive at night fearing a wiring
melt-down.

Thanks,

Bill
