ChasC Posted February 24, 2022 Share #1 Posted February 24, 2022 I am to un-upgrade the fusible links in my ‘78 280Z back to the OEM fusible links. Seems everyone goes the other way, so I would think the old fusible links should be around?? Any help sourcing the OEM fusible link bases (2) and holders would be greatly appreciated. The covers and wires are readily available. thank you!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S30Driver Posted February 24, 2022 Share #2 Posted February 24, 2022 I'll look at them when the weather improves here in the 78 parts car I have and see if they are in decent shape to be serviceable. The plastic tabs where they screw to the relay cover are often broken. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChasC Posted February 24, 2022 Author Share #3 Posted February 24, 2022 Thanks - at this point I would be grateful for any workable condition units. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S30Driver Posted February 26, 2022 Share #4 Posted February 26, 2022 Pulled the two fusible link assemblies from the 78 parts car today. One was 100% intact - no cover. The other had a broken mounting tab, repaired it with super glue, should be fine, also missing cover. Includes 4 proper relay cover mounting screws. I would replace the fusible links and clean their connections. $45 including USPS shipping, pm if interested ... 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crayZlair Posted June 22, 2022 Share #8 Posted June 22, 2022 Took the plunge and bought a 3-D printer the other day. I am still learning, but I designed an printed a couple of fusible link covers for my '76. If anyone is interested, here is the .stl file so you can print your own (if you happen to have a printer).

From the comments for the Thing files, I decided to go with my own design. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
