Yours actually looks very nice, no signs so far of the fusable link starting to melt, no discoloration of the wire ends and terminals. When mine overheated enough that the link cracked, I replaced the whole thing with a big 50 amp fuse holder and fuse from the audio section at W*lmart. Soldered the connections wherever possible.
