[Tigers] MK II wiring help

[Smit, Theo]

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.
