This abomination you see to
the right is the mess we call the fusible links.
The wires at the top are supposed to burn out "safely"
if too much current is applied to them. It will
probably prevent a fire from your harness wires
overheating and catching fire, but it sucks for
reliability.
The links have a tendency to
corrode and become loose or even broken. They are
even harder to track down and replace.
A more reliable setup can be done many ways; some
cheaper than others. I hear the FC RX7s had a
fusible link box with 5 fuses. This would be more
flexible of a location than my setup.
I stole dad's 4-Runner battery. It is narrow
enough to clear my IC pipe and has the stock battery
height. It also places the positive terminal on
the left instead of the right. |
