Main Fuse in Early Mark III's
Early mark III's, the first with the drop down fuse tray, used an open, lead fuse, that spanned across two studs and was secured with nuts and washers. On my car this fuse failed because it became loose. The open design is crude and is very difficult to replace. An 80 Amp. AGU fuse and holder as shown is available at most performance sound system stores. With this design, the fuse is protected and can be replaced without tools.
