Voltmeter gauge wiring

I should mention that my ammeter displayed some very unusual behavior until I replaced the alternator, after which it began to act as it should. I naturally suspected the LUCAS (prince of darkness) gauge all along until the alternator completely died.

I had the exact same problem with my car last month. It was the alternator 100%. Replaced it - all is fine. The amp meter works as it is supposed to. BUT - now, I'm interested in replacing the amp meter in the dash with a volt meter. The idea of 50 amps running through that little guage makes me nervous. Am I off base here? Any thoughts??
