List,
I was able to buy the last handmade fuseable link for my mini truck and she
is back to being my daily driver. I learned a lot and grateful for the
knowledge. I bought it from Lynchburg Nissan as one of the parts guys was
making them for years being an owner of a Nissan mini truck too!. He gave
me instructions to make them too as they are metric links. I saw a burn on
one of my connectors and I'm sure it was because the ac hose lays onto it
and presses into the battery terminal being someone clamped a rubber gasket
onto the battery terminal. I'll make a few soon so I can get them to those
in need being it is somewhat common on these old trucks.
Thanks as always for your continued support on all car stuff,
Linda
