You should only have one fusable link. Holden anyway.

It sounds to me that they are the bigger type of fuse used in late model cars e.g VN commodore headlight fuse.

Terminal 87 or 30 will have power all the time depending on who wired it. Should be 30
When the relay is closed, activated, both should have power
