ri702bill 8,472 #3 Posted September 16, 2023 Am I all wet, or did IT get wet??? Looks like a lot of discoloration (aka resistance) that could push it over the top..... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wallfish 17,075 #4 Posted September 16, 2023 Age and oxidization may have cracked it?

Or it might fit right on there. It cracked but no sign of sparks, discoloration etc... Pretty thin metal... @squonks fuse is 2" hole to hole. Mine is 1.5"+/-... Could rig it maybe... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Do all 4 of them with new bolts? Use a new piece of Masonite and make a whole new board? 3 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kenneth R Cluley 530 #8 Posted September 16, 2023 We used to have "RENEWABLE" fuses that were just a cartridge with ends that attached to an element similar to that part. Available in different amperage ratings. Check fleabay, etc.? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
