Sheesh
I got a reply from a Toyota dealer in the Miami area... I quote:
"Good morning,
This part we do have in stock, currently is just not available online.
If you are in the area, you can just walk in to buy it.
Thanks,
V."
So it seems Toyota is trying to prevent large quantities being sent everywhere.

So it seems Toyota is trying to prevent large quantities being sent everywhere.
Toyota parts dealers in the US are not allowed-- policy-wise -- to ship parts overseas to other Toyota parts markets. There are very long-standing agreements globally within the Toyota ecosystem regarding parts export.
Hence most any US based Toyota parts department will not sell to you/ship to you in VZA.

If they do, their dealer agreement is in jeopardy. Up to losing it outright. I don't know that it has ever happened but it could.

I know that, and I don't bring them directly to Venezuela, I have them shipped to an address in USA, and not for resale, just for my own use, just the fusible link and a gasket set for a 2005 Corolla cannot be bought from them online, have to be bought walk by.
Thinking about how many of these links I have replaced I simply fitted a new fuse box on the inner wing, this takes midi and maxi fuses, done it years ago and even fitted a block fuse at the terminals to cover a heavy short.
The FL's IMO were....no....ARE one of Toyota's poorest things they have ever designed....well apart from the injector harness route rubbing on the bulkhead, and the big end bearings in the 12 valve diesel, oh and the pesky heater hose., oh and the underrated relay for headlights, the underrated relay in the 24 valve diesel, heater matrix, oh and the rear heater pipes and....oh and the....oh..and ......
Despite the various things that can go wrong with these cars I love my 80, it is the longest owned car of any that have passed through my hands (and I have owned plenty), it still brings a feeling of solidness that I have yet to feel in any other vehicle. I have not driven mine for over a year due to surgery and cannot wait to get back in the seat!

land of the freeYou are already f***ed. You already live in an alternative universe.
Why did you go through all this trouble? I’ve had multiple 80s and driven more than 500k in them and have never replaced a fuseable link for failure.

You wash your whore mouth out with soap right now MISTER!!
It's there another reason to replace one?
I can think of two.
PM to prevent an imminent failure? Still a failure.
Upgrade due to change in electrical load with mods or high output alternator?
