Question for Nacho

I am trying to solve the amp gauge dillema as well.  I read your previous work as well as Mad Electricals fixes.  Would this work.  10 gauge batt to starter relay.  10 gauge with 14 gauge fusible link from alt to starter relay.  16 gauge fusible links to both wires in bulkhead.  Connect those wires together inside car at one side of amp meter.  Connect other side of amp meter to secondary fuse box for misc things like radio, line lock, etc.  I looked at these two pages for the ideas.

Thanks in advance, Mike

I've been talking to Nacho for a few days and he told me he's going to start a new threat about adding new (parallel) wires.
I will follow his example which he explained in this pic below:

I didn't get what you are trying to get. I understand the "mental diagram", but don't get completelly the deal

if you hook both wires inside the car to one side of ammeter, you are bypassing ammeter for regular equipment and just will get some ammeter reading for the extra fuse box depending on the side you hook, but won't it be a battery charge status, will be the extra fusebox power demand reading, what will be mostly sure insignificant beside the rest of equipment.

of course will work, if thats your goal on this  :shruggy:

but if you are still using the stock terminals at bulkhead, what is the weak point specially if adding another fuse box will get same problem there.

If your going to go through the effort of redoing it.....

Why not get a real fuse and forget the fusible link.

yes, that could it be a good replacement for fuse link... is simply another option, and maybe cleaner job and easier to replace if blows
