I want to thank everyone who replied. I had a couple of people recommend MoMa,
and I saw them listed on Sunbeam Specialties site also, so I'll contact them
for a rebuild and SS for a higher amp version.

Subject: [Tigers] Ammeters
A previous owner of my car apparently thought it was a good idea to rewire
the
ammeter directly from the battery stud on the starter solenoid into the
main
harness, and not use a fuse or circuit breaker. The battery power wire at
the
back of my alternator came out of the crimp connector (also done by the
p.o.
when he switched from generator to alternator) and shorted out, causing the
ammeter to act as a fuse. I need to know if anyone has a company they
recommend for rebuilding the ammeter, as I like to have all my original
parts
working, and then I really need to find one meant for alternators with the
higher amp readings. I have installed a 40 amp circuit breaker in line and
bypassed the ammeter for now.
Steve (in N.Id. and can attest to the fact that a '65 Tiger looks really
small
on the back of a flatbed tow truck)
