This is very interesting. I'd like to hear feedback from those who purchase a 20 amp version. Does it fit well in the dash? It does look very deep. How accurate is it?
Interesting request. In the 1990s there was a brand of Model A Ammeter that became available: it looked like a dandy repop and included actual thumb-nuts on the back side. It even came in a tan-colored box in apparent emulation of the original Ammeter.

AHA thinks I at the time - FINALLY someone has come up with something to replace the pressed aluminum device called an ammeter.

My disappointment when the new ammeter was found a "skosh too small" for the opening. The ears BARELY caught the edges of the opening.

A rubber o-ring could be used along with the ears to make something that would work - and stay in place reasonably well.

But that was not a cheap repop - it could have been made right easily enough at that price.
