Just had a brainwave (which means that my previous information may be incorrect)
I did some Google-ing and discovered that the fusible link must be 4 'gauges' smaller than the cable it is protecting
So a 0.5mm2 FL is 20 gauge. So the wire it protects is 16 gauge or 1.3mm2 or more likely 1.25mm2 which requires a 15A fuse
Next one, 0.85mm2 FL is 18g. So the wire it protects is 14 gauge or 2.0mm2 which requires a 25A fuse
The next one, 1.25mm2 FL is 16g. So the wire it protects is 12 gauge or 3.0mm2 which requires a 40A fuse
The last one, 2.0mm2 FL is 12g. So the wire it protects is 8.0mm2 which requires a 50A fuse
Requires more inforation

Got any more info on fuse sizes used??Alex wrote:i ran these bad boys in my wagon and in my patrol(circuit breakers) to replace the crappy wire fusible links.

I swung by Jaycar - they had circuit breakers up to 35 amps - the next size was 70 amps in a design that I much preferred, but as I wasn't sure what was needed I didn't make a purchase.
Gannon, thanks for the run around to collect information - this is one area (including stereos) that I'm not really good with!
Cheers

Breakthrough!!!!
I had a chat to an auto electrician and he said that simply match the colours.
So simply replace the Green, Red, Black and Blue fusible links with 40A Green, 50A Red, 80A Black and 100A Blue FLF or AFF style fuses and all should be sweet

Yeah they will be different. Will require a dedicated fuse holder

Im using those type of fuses in my brumby as fusable links they plug directly into the little black box. Im pretty sure they would slip straight into the L series one as well.
I got mine from under the bonnet of a ford at the wreckers free of charge, they are around 6 dollars each at super cheap

Yep, the ones like in Gannon's pic plug straight into an L Series. The only thing to note is the depth of the slot down the middle - the one pictured is fine, but some (eg old Narva) have a much shallower slot, and won't go into the L fuse box.

My EF Falcon definitely had these sort of fusible links, and I think the EB and BA did as well, in a few different ratings. And car parts shops of course, but they can get a bit pricey if you're melting one every second dayTOONGA wrote:they are a light pink colour and the only place Ive ever seen them is under the bonnet of late model fords.
