Fusible links should be 4 wire gauge sizes smaller than the wire they're protecting.

I believe the wires you're dealing with in that area will be either 12 or 10 gauge from the factory. So use a 14 ga fusible link wire if it's 10 ga wire. Or a 16 ga fusible link if it's 12 ga wire.

Note that the location is important too ... don't be tempted to re-locate the fusible links up on the other end of the wire where they'll be easier to reach. They need to be on the "source end" of the wire for best protection. Otherwise it leaves a section of wire unprotected ... a potential fire hazard if it ever shorted out again in that area.

Here's some additional info on fusible links you might find helpful --> http://www.madelectrical.com/catalog/fusible-link.shtml
