Amp gauge shunt
Since I have the flu and have a need to keep myself busy I thought I would elaborate with some crude drawings to better explanation my ideas. The first one "plan a" shows the brass shunts like was used on my Power Wagon plus two insulated terminals to clean things up and eliminate the welded splice.
"Plan b" above shows the use of an external shunt like Stewart Warners uses with their amp gauges that are rated to 100 and 300amps.
Also here's the link that made me consider keeping the amp guage in my ralley dash.

This shows how to improve the conductivity of the guage.
Hope this helps.
