Yes, it's another fail point and it's alot of current to divert behind the
dash. My opinion is that you'd probably be better off with a voltmeter,
which is peripheral to the wiring rather than fundamental, which tells you
the same thing but in a different way.

| List,
|
| I am considering installing an ammeter in my Sprite. I bought the
ammeter
| in Carlisle last May and I think it came out of a TR6. Anyway, the List
told
| me that it installs between the alternator/generator and the battery. I
really
| hate to run that huge gauge wire through the dash and introduce another
| point of electrical failure. Has anyone used a doughnut type current
| transformer to run an ammeter? Even if you haven't, will this idea work?
| Calibration issues?
|
| Thanks,
| Paul
