I must check the Ranger we have as well.

The plate under the ranger was the same afterthought as the BT back in the day.

Seriously, the ally foil approach has,,, Potential.... (Sorry, couldn't resist that...)

IF one has suitable ammeter & current source, a tested length/width piece could be good enough to get you out of trouble... Remember the Ancient porcelain household fuses ? - nothing more than tinned Copper wire of various gauge(s) - and perhaps the most expensive way to buy wire... bit like your inkjet ink.

(Back in the day... used to use a couple of strands of mains flex, for bodgy amplifier speaker fuses, when it was 23/.0076"

Now I think the metric version is '0.18 mm ' per strand and fewer of them.)
