Factory original Chrysler ammeter-based Charging System and additional loading. Load placement matters!

If one wanted to replace a deteriorated amp gauge insulator, what type of material would you recommend and where would you purchase? I've found some glass-mat pcb material on ebay as well as thermal fiberboard, either can be cut to size. Your thoughts appreciated.

If fabricating replacements, any good quality insulting material should work as long as it can tolerate some heat. Just remember to account for the locating tabs/notches in the insulator that centers the ammeter stud pass-through in the cluster frame.

Haven’t seen these reproductions myself, but someone is making these based on the original design.

I have purchased the insulators shown in the link, they are quality and seem to be the same as original.

Yes, find some thick standard pcb from some old electrical thingy you have laying around, grind off the metal tracks, drill holes for the gauge and you are set with something way stronger than original.

Did this on my car, should be a pic in this thread somewhere.
