The ammeter is useful to the rider as it displays the operation of the charging system while the motorcycle is being operated. This ammeter features a white face with an 8-0-8 scale and is suitable for British motorcycles equipped with alternators and 6 volt electrical systems.
This reproduction ammeter measures 1-3/4″ across the chrome bezel and has a 1-5/8″ diameter across the body. A bracket is included for mounting to models fitted with a headlamp nacelle. Made in the UK and sourced from Velocette.
The ammeter is connected between the rectifier and the battery on models with alternator charging systems. The scale shows current readings as engine speeds and electrical loads vary. When the needle is on the ” +” side of the center of the scale, the charging system is sending direct current to the battery.
Ammeters are generally mounted in the aperture on top of the headlamp shell. A thin rubber o-ring is useful for sealing around the base of the bezel. The bezel has four thin tabs that are bent down to fit into the shell from the outside, then bent upwards inside the shell to retain the ammeter. The mounting bracket included can be used when the ammeter is fitted to a headlamp shell where there are no cutouts for the tabs.Â
