Tom yes I had checked RT's site and have an order in there for the 105HD Reactor alternator. The Lucas ammeter is rated at 50A should not be used with a high output alternator, and is rendered nonfunctioning anyway with a proper install of a single wire system as all the recommendations are to run a large gauge wire from the alternator output directly to the battery terminal on the solenoid, so this defeats the circuit through the ammeter. I have installed a Smiths voltmeter in mine and removed the ammeter. There is a way to retain the charge light function with a single wire alternator (requires a small added circuit I'm told) but I am in the processing of converting my red warning light to a low
oil pressure warning system which would be much more useful for me.
