DanEC, If you’re enamored with your ammeter then disregard the following. The ammeter is a weak link in the electrical system and a potential for failure and possible electrical fire. patrickt & strictlypersonl have given you ways to decrease the current seen by your ammeter, thereby minimizing the potential for failure. Another avenue is to eliminate the ammeter and replace it with a voltmeter. If the voltmeter fails, potential for severe electrical system failure and fire is significantly reduced. The ERA owners link has a section that specifically addresses the ammeter to voltmeter conversion, should you decide to go that route.
