Theres a lot more to it than that On what basis are you comparing the standard to, also what about the resistance / impedance / work hardening deterioration in electrical capacity, calculation for additional loading ie high current fuel pumps etc

Im not being funny mate but melted fuse boxes and are only the problem you can see and yes they can be changed. Its the problems you can't see. The car is an old car (no disrespect) and cable breaks down adding to this a load of messers modifying it to a poor standard..... One result Fire

Better buy a fire extinguisher
