Found a suitable vintage brass ammeter on TradeMe & spent a little time restoring/polishing it up. Came up nice, its soon to grace the side of my previously made battery box
That looks really nice now. Coincidently I was mucking about in my garage yesterday night and on an inpulse decided to sand a bit of chrome off the old triumph gas tank lid. Guess what I found under that shagged-out old chrome......brass. Had people turn up so haven't had time to go back in there with some polish but I'm even more keen now. Good idea for your battery box by the way.
