Another Ammeter bypass question:

As it goes, I consider the direct line from battery to alternator stud to be a must have. Unless you like watching your car burn from the side of the highway. Use a fusible link appropriately sized, no how to needed beyond googling the proper size fusible link (although I still agonize over the proper wire routing).

It renders the amp meter useless but there's not much discussed here that doesn't do that anyway, and there is no risk of shorting your ammeter studs to the dash frame like I've been known to do, since you don't even fiddle with the instrument cluster.

And it doesn't have to permanently alter ANYTHING. That's why it's on my must have list.
