MAD ammeter bypass question

The battery charging current is not really the biggest load concern, with a fully charged battery there will be little to no charging current. On a weak battery any charging current is short term, unlike vehicle loads. With the original alternator feed disconnected, yes, the parallel fusible link circuit protection concern is alleviated but now you have all stock vehicle loads back on one Packard terminal in the bulkhead connector at the battery feed. Better to by-pass both charge path bulkhead terminals (fleet by-pass) and leave the ammeter alone after verifying the ammeter terminals are tight and there is no previous terminal/insulator abuse. Short of the fleet by-pass, the C-body recall would be a better approach to weak charge path bulkhead terminals than this “shunt wire” by-pass, retains the designed circuit protection and leaves the ammeter to function as it was designed.
