The Ford Barn

I just purchased one of the newest repop 20 amp ammeters for around $8 and it's a piece of junk. The tabs on the bezel don't match the cutouts in the instrument panel, the "glass" is now a thin piece of plastic, if you tip it too far forward or upside down the needle falls out (it can be put back in but you need to take it apart to do it). I fiddled with it for a long time and finally threw it in the trash. Does anyone have a quality replacement?

I believe I can speak for others in the hobby, we would be happy to pay more for a quality unit!
