PaulT 0 Report post Posted June 17 Family I have a 70 mustang coupe. I was changing fuses and the Black-Yellow stripe wire connected to copper broke. I'm having a difficult time identifying its use. It was attached to the 14A/20A copper connector. Also, is there a way to repair this connection. Paul Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
aslanefe 268 Report post Posted June 17 How about, stick solid copper wire under the terminal (between 2 rivets), wrap it around while capturing the broken end under it. Twist the end and solder the copper, broken tab on the wire to the terminal. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kris 89 Report post Posted June 17 You can buy replacement terminals and rebuild your fuse block. Would be safer than rigging it. https://www.cjponyparts.com/fuse-box-repair-kit-1965-1969/p/HW2906/ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The aftermarket fuse clips are not make of the same material and are difficult to crimp due to brittleness compare to originals. Your best bet is to try and solder the tab to the existing base structure. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PaulT 0 Report post Posted June 20 Thanks for everyone's response. I thought about soldering but you need a propane torch cause copper needs to get really hot. I may have to drill out the rivets and remove the clips. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I may have to drill out the rivets and remove the clips. You do not need a prophane torch to solder that, soldering iron will do. You do not need to drill out the rivets to remove the clips. If you look closely to the clips where the fuse is held, you will see small tabs at the outsides; press those little tabs inwards both at the same time (with two small screw drivers or a small needle nose pliers) and the clip will come out. You have to do one clip at a time for that double clip, push one clip out a little, then when you push the other clip, both will come out. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
