Install a Ammeter

[hot-rod]

Hi Guys,

i want to install the Gauges with the original Ammeter. I have read a lot about a "shunt". But there is NO WAY to find this shunt here in Germany. So i have read also something about a cable, that can be used instead of this shunt. But i could not find anywere the right length and cross-section of the cable. Can anyone tell me the exact informations?


best regards
Dirk

I've never been a huge fan of running an ammeter with all the charging current through the cab. All it says is charge or discharge and I worry more about the battery voltage. I found a Sunpro voltmeter that I was able to graft into the same place without much effort. Check my build page for other info.
