Burned bulk head connection
Non of the shops around here had a quality plug version connector, so I spliced the wires. Like suggested before I crimped and soldered the open butt connector and used two shrinkable tubes to insulate the connection.
Carefully drilled a 6mm hole through the bulkhead and the clip on plug. Slided the 10 gauge wire through bulkhead, clip on plug and installed again two shrinkable tubes on the area, were the wire runs through the bulkhead.
I left around one feet more wire on the inside of the firewall - just in case.
I think it still looks close to original and should do the job for now.
There's no way to reach and inspect the Ammeter without removing the dash cluster.
Even though I had the front seats removed, it was a punishment to work and solder under the dash.
Glad this job is done.
Thanks for all the input.
