Thanks Dalton. When wiring it up the main feed from the alternator runs through the ammeter and then feeds the fuse panel (I believe.) All the current feeding the entire system runs through it. A volt meter doesn't have the amperage running through it like a ammeter does. Its no big deal to wire it with an ammeter. I just didn't want to is all. I have several stock A ones. I will get the size and look for a gauge. I was hoping that a 'Barner' would know of a gauge. I will have to look. The A ammeter is smaller than most. this might be tricky to find.
