I’ve got a couple fuses in my ‘87 Pete, that are loose. Replaced all the fuses but 2 or 3 of the sockets are a bit loose. I tweeked them with a tiny flat screwdriver and it helped 2 of them but the other socket is still trouble. Thought about dropping a tiny bit of solder on the spades of the fuse and file it down some. Do y’all have any other methods?
Poor fuse connections

is it the pins or the connector that is the issue.
Pins can be replaced and tweaked easily once removed.
If its the connector, replace if possible, if not plastic shims can be made from scrap plastic and super glued into place to keep the pin from moving.Keepforgettingmypassword Thanks this. -
You can also tweak the legs a little. Gently bend in opposing directions.

I'm not sure if the modules have changed since the 80s or if new will match up with old
