If you look at the wire diagram in the Shop manual you will see that
the ammeter has a WR wire from Vreg B terminal to the ammeter and an N wire,
brown, from the ammeter to the starter relay. Without the ammeter you have
just an N wire from the B terminal to the starter relay. It all depends on
how original you want to be according to the shop manual diagram.
The NY wire is at the Vreg D terminal to the generator and the Ignition
warning light.
The different wire colors all have a meaning in the wire harness; here is
one discussion on the subject.

N, brown indicates battery voltage
B, black is ground
And so on.

Subject: [Tigers] Wiring Question
Hi All,
I am wiring up my ammeter and I had a question regarding the color/gauge of
the wire. The Wiring Diagram for the MkI shows the color of the wire as
brown for the connection to the voltage regulator (vreg) and the starter
solenoid. It also has the connection to the vreg going to the B terminal.
The Under Dash Wiring Diagram from C.A.T. shows the the color of the wire to
the vreg as brown/yellow and going to the A terminal.
Which is correct?
Also, does anybody know where to find brown and/or brown/yellow wire. I have
tried all the usual auto parts places with no luck. Online sources want you
to buy reels of at least a hundred feet. The one place I thought would
work...Britishwiring.com has a web site I can not seem to access.
Finally what gauge wire do I need?
As always...Thanks.
