1235776 - Ammeter - 1 - Mk II
Parts List shows a Mk II ammeter in the Special Accessories section.
I'm not concerned with who might have installed it; I'm concerned with how
it is installed.
I'm not the electrical guy so I can not off hand state if it is installed
correctly.
I'm hoping someone on the list with a Mk II with amp gage can shed some
light on this harness.
Thanks
Ron Fraser

The shunt is located inside the ammeter itself. This is far from ideal,
because any imperfection in the ammeter wiring, external or internal, causes
a great deal of heat as a result of all the battery charging current being
pumped through it.
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.
