amp gauge

The bus bar should work just fine.  

Hi an update Have done the mods and doing some reassembly and was checking a few things before test firing, that little trim pot on page 1 of this post has 2 small brown Resistors on it and 1 of them has NO reading on the multi meter (fried) but the bands on it are had to see. Looks like RED / ORANGE / blue gold and if that's correct it is 23M ohms! If you zoom in on the pic what do you think? am I correct?I use to be confused but now I'm not so sure:)

I didn't even notice the potentiometer in your picture.   The resistor colors you gave would be 2.3 Meg    What parts of the pot and resistors are fried?  How many small wires are there going to the pot assembly?       The pot on the unit and the resistors on it were calibrated for the original shunt. But they are already there and configured for what we were trying to build.  Do you know how to use the Macro Function of your digital camera?  It is the selection with a flower on it?   It allows you to take close up pictures.

Hi again No that 1 is for the volt gauge or is that hooked up wrong too! Macro on my camera? never used it I'm going to have a look right nowI use to be confused but now I'm not so sure:)

I had a look and don't see Macro (flower setting) anywhere I know it's on my Dad's camera (he can't even work the zoom) this pic any better?I use to be confused but now I'm not so sure:)

OK then lets go as planned What's next??I use to be confused but now I'm not so sure:)

i am an idiot wrote: Drill holes in the shunt, connect the wires with a Bolt and Nut, connect the small wires that go to the meter and to the pot.   You will have to mount the shunt somehow. It can not touch the metal of the frame.

Hi, have done as above but can't find anywhere to mount the shut without earthing it out , can I wrap it in electrical tape or is heat going to be a problem? Thanks...I use to be confused but now I'm not so sure:)

I do not know how hot it will get.   You can wrap it in tape but you will have to monitor it the first few times you use it.
