Quoted from exflexer:

In reference to VID fusing the brideges I use these neat little gadgets.

I’m considering ordering these for the Flash machine I just acquired. Seem like a good “plug and pray” upgrade instead of cutting wires and mounting fuse blocks. Supposedly they bolt right in where the original rectifiers went.

Quoted from Robotworkshop:

That should go right in place of the original bridge and looks like a good solution. I usually just install a standard fuse holder nearby, plug one of the wires from the transformer into that, then make a short jumper with .250 terminal to plug into the original bridge. In-expensive and accomplishes the same thing.
One thing to watch out for is many games have those connections soldered after they were plugged in. You have to heat them up with the iron to melt the solder in order to pull them off.
I've added the fuses on PinBot, Blackout, and soon FirePower.

It sure looks like an idea solution albeit a little more expensive than just mounting some fuse blocks to the cabinet.

Fortunately the wires in my rectifiers aren’t soldered on so this should be an easy and quick remedy.

Quoted from Robotworkshop:

It looks like a nice option and I prefer not hacking up the original wiring. These look like an easy drop in replacement.

Exactly, it can be easily revert back if needed. I went ahead and ordered a set.
