Well the forum was at it again. Here is the pic.

Don't have one from before, but it was like any other stocker.

An 88 Turbo 2, I think any 86-88 will work though.

Look at post #10 https://www.rx7club.com/1st-generati...ement-1124923/

Direct link (pun) as who knows how long the original content will be around; Mazda Fusible Links

Details:
Fortunately, aftermarket fuse supplier Bussman has a line of modular fusible links that seem to directly plug into the RX-7 fusible link block, and many stores keep them in stock. They also look better and are probably more reliable than the OEM wire links with cloth covers. So go to your local parts store and pick up the following for your model of RX-7:

For a 12a car:
Order two Bussman "FLF-20" fusible links and one "FLF-40."

For a GSL-SE:
Order three Bussman "FLF-20" fusible links, one "FLF-40" and one "FLF-30."

Bussman also offers the FLF-50, which I thought was just a little too much current to replace the highest capacity OEM fusible link. The FLF-40 is actually under-rated for our application, but it would be safer to choose a more conservative approach to wiring protection, so stick with the FLF-40.

Credit and thanks go out to Jim Rothe for all he's done for the rotary community. Please visit his main site if you find time,
