Bypass ampmeter through bulkhead

Dana67dart,
I've decided to go with your example, as I've said earlier. The ammeter hasn't caused any issues for over 50 years. Just last year when I noticed the melted bulkhead connectors. Witch it could may not have been caused by the ammeter.
Demonx2. HiI am confused about what you referred to as a "fusible link on the alternator end". Are you placing the fusible link attached to the alternator? Or in line?

@bills73duster. In response to your question, yes, I ran a charge wire (I believe it is a 6ga wire with a 10ga fusible link) with a fusible link straight from the alternator to the starter relay. The fusible link is attached right at the alternator and the wire is taped inside the harness. Here's a pic where you can see the light blue fusible link.

Again, all the rest of the wiring was left intact. But we know any charging current going to the battery will take this new easy path instead of the tortuous path through the bulkhead connectors and ammeter.

Hope this helps!
