Hey Benny, that W/R is definitely the fusible link wire, I confirmed it on my other loom. I like the idea of a circuit breaker & was looking for the amp rating of the original fusible link but didn't find it in a quick search - I know you said some where between 40 & 50 Amp - I found this...
http://www.mcmaster.com/#dc-circuit-breakers/=c9vec4Is this similar to what your using & do you see any problems with something like this? I was thinking of a compromise of 45 Amps.....
thx.

BTW - took your advise & soldered the wires both together & to the connectors, also sacrificed a voltage reg. plug to make the jumper - worked well.
EDIT - so after a little more searching I found some info from DD:

I just learned that the Fusible Link should be a certain gauge wire. So if you replaced yours with a generic Link, check the gauge size to ensure the wiring is protected.
Nissan spec for Datsun 1200 & Datsun B210:
"FUL 0.5mm2" fuse-link. 20 gauge: 0.5 square mm
18 gauge: 0.8 square mm *TOO BIG FOR DATSUN 1200*
16 gauge: 1.0 square mm *TOO BIG FOR DATSUN 1200*
14 gauge: 2.0 square mm *TOO BIG FOR DATSUN 1200*
Is the relationship between a 30A fusible link wire & a 30A DC breaker going to function the same way? Are they equal is performance, the same thread stated that an actual "fuse" & fusible wire performed differently.
