Ammeter Bypass a Must?

67Dart273 said
Ammeters are simple and often can be fixed. The big problem with the actual ammeter is that the studs are not brazed/ soldered to the shunt. The studs pass through a stack of insulating washers and the dash housing, which is plastic for some models. So if the nuts get loose or the plastic softens, the studs get loose and lose good contact with the shunt. After that you have a "rolling snowball" except it's a "fireball."

That's exactly what I got going on. I've hold it out a few times checked all the connections pretty much throughout the whole car but I'm having an issue with the nut itself on one side of that gauge not wanting to tighten down all the way as the stud is moving....
