Yes, the unprotected ammeter wired directly into the main live cables behind the dash is a bit of a worry. I have a Dynator - an alternator hidden in a dynamo casing. This is a Lucas C40T type, with the rear take-off for the cable-drive tachometer. Running this alternator means the Lucas control box no longer contains the bobbin voltage regulator apparatus. The control box now acts as a junction box, and includes a whole-system 60A fuse. This protects the wiring harness including the ammeter.
