Also, I have never seen a 30amp fuse that would fit into the fuse board.

Blade and mini-blade are available up to 40 Amp

Very handy for fault finding... insert fuse, look for smoke :-)

So, the damaged wire and resulting short circuit was there before the previous owner "upgrading" the brake fuse?
That makes sense. Obviously, he band aided without searching for the real problem. Not a good approach with electrical problems. Lucky he didn't burn the car down.

Yeah, either he did it just to sell it so it didn't look like there was a fault or he was a whole new level of intelligent hill Billy.

It burning is kind of double edged, if it did burn right now I'd have my insurance money and be troll shopping, instead I'm trying to work out when between work, home renos, holidays that are already booked and organised and family commitments i can gut my rig and rewire the whole thing 😑

Cool. 30 amp is green. 25 amp is white. 40 amp is ................
So much to learn.

Last one i saw was orange i think

The standard is...
30 is Green
35 is Blue/Green sorta Aqua
40 is Orangeish

Some manuf the colours are very washed out so can be hard to tell.
Mini's stop at 30 I think, Std Blade at 40 and Maxi at 80 Amps could be wrong tho
