This ammeter has 35 on the face and it has 2 heavy brown wires
attached.
The original generator was rated at 25A so a 30A gauge seems right.
When I converted my Tiger to an alternator system I used the same 30A
ammeter with a 55A alternator; no problem so far but then I try to keep my
battery charged all the time.

>From the way my ammeter was wired,I suspect that wiring was not part of the
kit for Ammeters for Generator cars. My gauge had never moved off zero,
maybe a twitch once in a while, so one day I traced it out. The installer
had run some really thin, maybe #28 or so, plastic insulated wires to a
couple points that had little to do with the charging current. Had 30A run
through these wires, there would have been a flash, maybe a fire... I
properly wired it, and now it indicates fine.
My generator car has a +/-30A Ammeter, because that's all the generator
could produce. Didn't the alternators on Mk 2 cars have a much higher
output than 30A, so they would need a differernt Ammeter?
