'
Side note: Because the MkII Tigers had an alternator, I thought the ammeter
was no longer an official option? If that's true then whatever wiring you're
seeing was added by the dealer or a PO.'
According to the June 1967 parts catalogue, there were LHD and RHD ammeter
'kits" which seemed to be replaced by individual ammeters for both the Alpine
V (alternator car) and the Tiger Mk II, and the catalogue shows the same part
number used for both of these cars.
In the C.A.T 'Tiger Under-Dash Wiring' illustration, again not differentiating
between Tiger 1, 1A, or II, a brown wire from the ammeter goes to the starter
solenoid, a brown with yellow stripe wire goes to voltage regulator terminal
A, all of this in addition to the illumination light and the gauge ground
harness.
I agree with Ron that routing a wire through the left side of the motor and
around to the other side of the engine compartment is just nuts, in addition
to being pretty sloppy-looking.
I should mention that about ten years ago, I bought a Jaeger ammeter through
the C.A.T. parts department for alternator-equipped Tiger 1A, and it just came
with the wiring and socket for the illumination light, no instructions and no
extra wiring.
Don't gang up on me all at once, and no - I don't do stand up at night, but
is there any likelihood that Rootes included the wiring, like more modern
manufacturers
sometimes do, in the harness, making installation easier. I remember the 1970+
Datsun 510 having an optional clock or tach (couldn't do both - they took up
the same location) and some or all of the wiring was already there.
