Hi Mark
Don't splice into the wire. Find the end at the starter solonide,
disconnect it. Bring the two wires from the ammeter to the solonide.
Terminate them in ring terminals like the brown wire's. One goes where
the brown wire went, the other connects to the brown wire with a 3/8"
bolt. Insulate the new bolted conection well with electrical tape.
The mod is fully reversible.
NB Be sure to disconnect the battery while doing this mod.
This circuit is directly connected to the battery and can supply
welding like currents. A slipped tool or wire can easily burn
right through the nearby clutch master cylinder.
No 10 AGW wire should be fine if you have a stock 30A Generator.
If you have upgraded to a larger Alternator, a larger wire size may
be needed.
I am not sure where the smaller wire is located. If it comes from the
ammeter it may be for the internal light bulb. If it is the bulb,
it goes to the same lighting circuit as the other gauge lamps.
