The wires to the Ammeter don't normally carry the full load. They carry the load between generator and battery which can sometimes be the full load (except for the starter which always goes direct from the battery).
The generator is the source of the power, and all power directly goes to the users that are connected to it (via switches and sometimes fuses). Excess power goes to the battery via...

This should retain about 8 to 12 psi residual pressure in the brake hydraulic circuit when the pedal is released....

When I bought the kit I recognized the issues with the springs and put the kit on the shelf until I could get the time to try and resolve them. I thought Peter did an excellent job getting up to speed on this potentially serious problem and coming up with a solution. I thought it was a great thread and everyone who has one of these kits can benefit through a retro fit if they heed the info Peter...

My springs are oriented a little differently.

Dave DuBois has written an excellent article on this question. I'm sure if you google it you should find it easily. The specs are on the Green Stripe website. After reading the article I bought the Green Stripe 2 segmented belt he recomended. Cheers
