Re: [Tigers] Mk II wiring help - more

[" Ron Fraser" <rfraser@bluefrog.com>]

        I'm not concerned about my Mk IA alternator conversion; it works
just fine and so does the ignition light.

My concern is that I'm working on a Mk II that has what I believe is a poor
installation of an ammeter.

I would like to confirm with a Mk II owner that has an amp gauge:

1 - how is the amp gauge wire harness loomed in the car.

2 - how is the amp gauge wire harness spliced into the Mk II charging
system.

To coroborate(sp) what Stu said, my original Lucas ammeter for my IA is a -+
30 amp. The Jaeger ammeter for Alternator-equipped cars from C.A.T. is a -+
50 amp.

I wonder if the simplest course isn't to just follow the Shop Notes / United
instructions for switching over a Mark I / IA to an alternator,
concentrating only on what is involved once the alternator is in place. And
I don't want to 'throw a Spaniard into the works', but should we factor in
or rule out whether to consider the alternator light simulator resistor
that's unique to the Mark II when Ron is finishing the repair?
