Nice, looking forward to this one.

Yeah of course. I likely won't even need to take it apart.

possible to make the eye at the battery end 1/2" so it'll fit battery lugs that have been changed out ? Also make them longer somehow as I've noticed my oem links seem somewhat strained while connected.

1/2” lugs?!? What battery clamp are you using that uses 1/2” lugs?

Sorry my bad. I use marine lugs, they're 10mm

Any updates on this? I’m trying to get some spares

I've been itching to ask but didn't want to be the one

I asked around and fortunately some people from Canada finally found me a few. It was the Radd cruiser people but beware sometimes they don’t reapond for up to 1 month.

Any reason the links can't be replaced with a breaker or fuse instead?

Exactly what I was thinking last week when I had to replace fusible link on my daughters VW Mk4 Golf.
They have a nifty clam shell box which houses interchangeable fusible link plates on a 5 main circuit terminal strip and 3 accessory circuit on a plug.. Definitely upgrading to this on my 80. Picked one up at local wrecker for $5

I know there are other options but it's one of those small things I'd rather just buy and replace as needed. So hoping @NLXTACY has some good news. Been pretty silent as I know he's got other things to do. But then again I have no engine to pair my links with at the moment.

 

[NLXTACY]

I have wire and terminals coming in

Excellent. Any comment on making them a bit longer or at least the end that connects to the battery. Also a 10mm lug on that end ?

@NLXTACY How are we coming with these links Sir

 

[Lumpskie]

Bump for diesel fusible links!

You can buy the toyota part # 90982-08264 from ebay, sourced out of the United Arab Emirates; I've got one on order to replace a blown link in my HDJ81. Regrettably high shipping cost- $25 shipping for a $15 part.

Parts diagrams suggest that part # was only used on gas engine trucks, and the diesel spec part # is 90982-08266. Let us know once you get your part if it works.

Does anyone have pictures of the gas and diesel fusible links? I'm driving a swapped rig and don't really know which one I have in there...
