I'm getting these two Simpson meters off ebay. They're both 0 to 50 but they make them 0 to 25 so I'm keeping my eyes open. The Simpson brand seems to be the closest match.
Mike, the leads from the generator in the picture are two wires in one cable so they're different. The wires are the same size though. Here I am making sure I find cables with the proper type of connecting lugs and if you look at the switchboard picture up close the Army resorted to the "farmer fix", just wrapping the bare wire around the terminal on the battery connections.

You will have a better chance of finding the correct meters by searching ebay UK .

Does anyone know the original make? And were they 25 amp? I started looking in UK, but most seem to be in US with killer postal costs.
This one for instance. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1816830089...%3AMEBIDX%3AIT OOPS! I just realised this is 2.5 and not 25. Ron |

The operating instructions say 25V and 25A. They need to be direct current too.
When I do an ebay search I get European results too. Those two were about $25 each with shipping.

Nit picking I know. But the more i study and scale the pictures and information we have, the more I make the height of the cabinet slightly more than the width. David what did you base your original 12" measurements on? I reckon the height is 12 1/2"-12 3/4". Ron

The picture in the manual is 3 1/4" across the top and 3 3/16" across the bottom. Both sides are 3 1/4" so there must be a touch of perspective.

OK. I have been scaling all the pictures I have and I've also printed the pictures of the panel that you sent, and coming up with a difference in height and width. Ron
