Chadd - a couple more comments/observations: 1 - If the existing ammeter terminals are so corroded they risk breaking off it's probably time for a new ammeter! ($20 or so...) 2 - Regarding the 30 amp discharge changing to a 30 amp charge if you flip the battery, keep this in mind: Operating with the polarity reversed causes the generator's output voltage to ADD to the battery's voltage when forcing a discharge current. This high level of discharge is indicated by the ammeter pegging at -30 amps. However with the polarity correct the generator voltage opposes battery voltage. Now when generator voltage slightly exceeds battery voltage, the generator forces current back the opposite direction and charging takes place. Thus 10 - 15 amps of charge will be the maximum and which the ammeter will indicate. I don't see how messing up the rebuild can cause polarization problems. Only way I can figure to do it is to refit the generator with permanent magnet field shoes (pretty much impossible!) ---- I guess if it were me I'd swap in a new ammeter, change the system polarity to negative ground then be done with it!

Measuring with Calipers - by Staff. The legs of inside calipers are curved outward at the extremities to facilitate measuring small holes, while outside caliper legs have a large curve inward to increase their capacity for large work. Firm-joint calipers are adjusted approximately by the hands and then set to the feel of the work by tapping them on a metal surface. It is a common practice when opening calipers by this means to tap the top of the joint. It is better, if possible, to tap the inside of the legs, as repeated blo
