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.
