Anyone know why automotive fuses, the type fitted to the early Hondas have a wide foil like element, rather than the single wire?
To keep it from failing due to vibrations...

HRC fuses, (high rupturing capacity) are normally manufactured with a ribbon type fuse wire, ribbon type fuses re-acts quicker to 'short circuit' & 'over load' conditions.
