It's not so much that, more that a decent ammeter will produce a lot of current for the flimsy standard wiring loom, and that an ammeter is much less use than a voltmeter when an alternator is fitted. I have swapped the internals from an original early sixties voltmeter with the casing and dial of an ammeter, so the only issue visually is where the needle sits at rest.
