The company that makes this is Dorman Products.
search under "fusible link" and you'll find the wire in the last page.

Thanks again and very helpful information.
I had estimated from published chart figures covering standard copper wire, that 15 AWG would be the nearest, but as I understand it this is not readily available. You were right to be conservative. The supplier must be using plain wire rather than a soft wire, which is understandable.
This information should be recorded within the how too stuff as it has been hard to come by.
