1. adding an ammeter to a RBB (score: 1): Author: Bill Saidel <saidel@camden.rutgers.edu>; Date: Tue, 17 Oct 2000 11:25:37 -0400; I''m contemplating adding an ammeter to a RBB. If anyone has done that, where did you mount the gauge as the dash has no provisions for it? Secondly, is it better to take the input to the gauge direc; /html/mgs/2000-10/msg00912.html (7,561 bytes)

All the cars discharge (except the starter) and charge current has to be routed via it hence the provision of hefty cables, and it introduces a number of additional points of failure; /html/mgs/2000-10/msg00932.html (8,969 bytes)

The volt meter is out of a 73 to 76 TR-6. It is a smith gauge. So it matches somewhat. And a volt meter is much easy to install. One side to a white w; /html/mgs/2000-10/msg00977.html (7,885 bytes)

I thought you had to wire an ammeter in series. If you "split the large brown wire coming from the starter to the alternator", doesn't that make a parallel circuit?

An ammeter must be wired in series with the current that it is measuring. The exp; /html/mgs/2000-10/msg00994.html (11,318 bytes)

Don't know if they are available for 12V systems or not, but that would solve the problem of adding more connections for the Prince to mess with.
