Terry is correct. It is just somewhere to store the spare wire. As far as the rating of the fuse wire goes; 10 amps at 12 volts is 120 watts. 10 amps at 240 volts is 2400 watts. The wire is still the same though.
Doug there should only be one strand of wire between the two sides.
Dont old house fuse boxes in Canada, have ceramic fuses that have a replaceable wire?

Default old lorrys

Hello, Lynn is entirely correct re the source of LUCAS/CAV electrical parts. I was lucky enough to get some parts from an old scrapped valentine tank instrument panel. Some of the instruments were the same as used in the British Mk1. Centurion tanks use the same type of wedge fuses and even early landrovers use a similar voltage regulator and fuse box. Old british lorry are a great source of parts as they use the same parts as well.

Cheers

Phill

Lynn,
I have not come across any fuses in Canada that have the wire type of fuse, or the wire in any amp rating. I could stand to be corrected but... .Vintage car parts UK has one remaining fuse box type with the cards in their on line cat. They do not sell the wire or spare cards.
I will look up Leyland and inquire about the fuse wire. If anyone knows where I could find some, please let me know.
Thanks
Doug
