dirkthe1 Posted December 3, 2008 Share Posted December 3, 2008 ive drawn up a few diagrams and have a vaguely good idea of what im doing-done a fair few speakers, etc! but i did wonder, if your fitting an ammeter, which one to get. presumably to the Ah rating of your battery? all i seem to find is 30 or 60 amp ones. also, im going to redo my fuses to blades, fit the lucas switch to a simple on off throw, etc. is it worth fitting a few extra switchs and wire them in to the fuses at the same time-im geussing its mighty annoying 3 weeks down the line when you go "oooooo thats nice and shiney" and then have to pull it all back out any advice on them is gratefully recieved-ive spent the evening reading this and other forums! and the web. cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted December 3, 2008 Author Share Posted December 3, 2008 don't use a ammeter fit a voltmeter also known as a battery condition indicator instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nikojo Posted December 4, 2008 Share Posted December 4, 2008 Will that fit in place of the 2002 dash front?? Can we replace the dash front with all the OEM switches with this instead?? Anyone done that?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dirkthe1 Posted December 4, 2008 Share Posted December 4, 2008 don't use a ammeter fit a voltmeter also known as a battery condition indicator instead. i was going to fit a voltmeter anyway! why do people fit ammeters then- i presumed it was to show how much you were drawing for winching, etc?

western Posted December 4, 2008 Author Share Posted December 4, 2008 ammeters were used years ago in dynamo fitted vehicle to show the charge rate, they won't last long on a alternator fitted vehicle as the charge would most likely damaged the ammeter & the wiring to feed the gauge needs to be pretty thick.

lansalot Posted December 4, 2008 Share Posted December 4, 2008 Bit of aluminium plate, reversed, and gone over with a scouring pad on the drill. Some cheap switches from Maplins, a grind out with the dremel and hey presto ! Completely unintelligible to anyone but me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
