When I started this, I had no idea what a fusible link was...so I thought, for the others out there in the same boat. Here is a quick primer on fusible links. I bought the handy kit that B & C Specialty Products offers...has everything you need to make several. I recommend you click on the link that says, pictorial on fusible link fabrication.
A fusible link is basically an economic way to provide an in-line fuse for circuit protection. For example, I have 22 ga wire...I add a small piece of 26 ga wire, cover it with rubber covered fiberglass sleeving and you're done. As B&C states, "In the rare instance where this device is called upon to do its job, all you get is a little smoke."
Now I wonder why I need an economic way to provide an in-line fuse (I mean how much can they cost?...a couple bucks?)...but that's another argument. This is an alternative, your choice how you want to go.
The finished product, under the heat shrink is a butt splice...
I spent some time reconfiguring my fuel pump drain. The plans say to use zip ties to fasten this. Although that is probably just fine, I wanted something a little more secure so I used adel clamps.
I started populating my Aveo switches in the panel...looking good eh?
Switch ground wires plugging into my "forest of tabs" ground block on the firewall.
Are you adding service loops to the wires for your switches?
