The "fuse" was a rivet made of low melting point alloy that tied those 2 parts together. You can restore it by holding the 2 parts together and carefully melting the solder with a soldering iron. A touch of flux is often helpful, but you snould NOT add any fresh solder, because that will raise the melting point and render the fuse ineffective. - ******************************* Jim Adney, jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, Wisconsin, USA ******************************* ------------------------------------------------ To unsubscribe, E-mail to: <type3-off@vwtype3.org> For more help, see http://vwtype3.org/list/
