As I understand it, the buss bar is the ammeter. It is a good choice since the ammeter is already at the panel and only short cables are needed from there. Look at the diagram here http://www.ercoupe.info/?n=Main.WiringDiagram. The Ammeter sits in the middle of the power and the master cuts the current to and from the battery. If you wire something directly to the battery, the master switch won't cut it and would not be a master switch anymore.

However, there is only one wire coming from there, and I have a transponder, radio, nav lights, strobe, and more. I will just have to trace them all down I guess, I will simply add a proper buss if none esixts. --- In [email protected], Mike Powell <mbpow...@...> wrote: > > I 'm in the process of rewiring my coupe.
