Nick
Thank you for clarifying that point. I'm not that concerned with
"concours correct" but it would be nice to see a picture of that
configuration. Anyone have a picture or description of the stock original
configuration?
I'm more concerned with the poor install that I see on this Mk II. I like
your idea of the single post junction block, it is very secure and robust to
handle the amp load, well done.

Ron: That is not a "concours correct" installation of the amp meter
installation. I installed that extra post on Phils car and several others in
the area to simplify the wiring and assure all the current(with the
exception of the starter) runs through the amp meter. It has worked well on
my car for 10+ years. I used a pair of brown 10 gage wire taped together to
run to and from the gage. The extra post is normally well hidden under the
brake booster.
