Well, for $100 those are cheaper than a recraft.

I thought Jeffersons were a wing tip design, and the other two current

That shoe lineup seems greatly reduced since 5-10 years ago.

Ralph,
As you found, the strip fuses deteriorate over time and simply split in many
cases. They heat up and cool as they’re used, and this thermal cycling causes
them to eventually crack or split. A lot of times it’s not easy to see, so I
always recommend that you remove the fuse from the
