Linda,

Fusible links are just wires, but they do have a special type of insulation o=
n them that won't catch fire and burn your pickup down when they blow.  That=
's why it's not a good idea to replace then with regular wire. =20

If the Datsun part is not available then you will have to make one using lin=
ks from another car.  Why did your's blow?

The rubber bumper Midgets do have fusible links.  The older cars just have r=
egular old fuses.  Sometimes it's cheaper for the manufacturer to just inser=
t a fusible link in a circuit than running wires to and from a proper fuse b=
lock.  I always thought they were an afterthought.  Car designer says "Oh je=
ez, we need a fuse here!"  Accountant says "Just put in a fusible link and w=
e'll save twenty cents over doing it right. "

Rick,
I just read about the insulation being different than regular due to high
temps. Thanks

I just fond the last one in Virginia.

The truck sat for years in the sun in California I am hoping that is why it
went but excellent question.
I will at least have the new one and make another out of the old one. If I
make another I'll have to shop around for the correct size. The dealer said
they used metric fusable links.
Linda
