[QUOTE="winkychevelle, post: 8817036, member: 611804"] Most fuse block are nickel plated brass. So fairly conductive. And you also have to figure the fact that the electricity is traveling a very short distance through a fairly large chunk of metal. As long as the resistance is near null it shouldn't even heat up. Alot of people go overboard on the all copper parts. Yes copper carries current very well by mass but aluminum of large enough mass will carry the same amount of current. You can find copper fuse holders but then you have to worry about corrosion on them under the hood [/QUOTE]
