[DeTomaso] Factory Shunt? was Re: Ammeter, was Re: Key difficult to turn

[Guido deTomaso]

I'm not seeing anything in the text or the photos about an internal shunt.

Seems like a lot to ask of the toothed terminals / brass bar, to maintain a good 
connection, transmit 50-60 amps without getting hot.  Tough call then, whether 
to put the homemade shunt back in or not.

Also thinking now a system of relays to route current around the ignition switch 
makes more sense on the driver side, use the existing feed wires, as John 
Buckman seemed to suggest.  Maybe I fixated on adding the 3rd wire without 
thinking it through.
