WTB color coded with painted stripe original fuses
Permalink  

Looking for an assortment for the fuse box.

Don't have a pic of the glass part handy, but it just has a painted stripe on it towards one end like a resistor has for color coding.

Here's an example of what our 60's cars left the assembly plant with showing the maker's mark

I may have some used ones in an old fuse block. I will check and you can have them for the cost of postage if I have any.

This what I have. 
Two 10 amp red stripe
Four 25 amp white stripe. 
All are Buss branded fuses except one 10 amp which is Littlefuse brand. They all have smooth ends without any logo.

Thanks for checking, I see now the colored stripe is not exclusive to whatever brand it is I pictured that I assume is OEM to the Oshawa assembly line circa my car's production year.
I'll have to check the lengths of what I need to replace, I know one purple stripe fuse was cracked when I bought the car.
I looked at the Paragon site and sure enough they have reproductions.
Details are first and foremost with the Corvette boys.

Here's my fuse block, I remember installing these new correctly rated fuses, but where I stashed the old color coded fuses is a mystery now.

I think there were maybe 3 including the cracked one, and the rest were somebody's replacements with the wrong rating.

The fuses definitely had a stripe with glass showing either side, and not a stripe on the glass right from the metal end though.

The repros pictured look correct, but they're painted on the outside and the stripes rub off, originals were painted inside the glass.

I know you guys are gonna break my balls for worrying about original fuses when I have a Novita relay in there, but I have an original flasher for display and it's too sluggish for flashing when the car is on the road.

I see that only the 10 amp fuses would be relevant for your car. Unfortunately most of the red colour has faded away.
These fuses are from about 1970. I will keep an eye open for you.
