MG TD TF 1500 - Ammeter Wire Order

When you look on the archives you see all sorts of people asking which wire goes where on the ammeter. The answer always is 'see if the meter points in the minus direction when you add a load and reverse it if it shows a charge when a load is added'. Simply turning on the ignition and letting the fuel pump make a couple of ticks is enough to tell the position.

I just recently did mine and wired it backwards so I thought I would share the correct order.

For a positive ground car (original) when looking at the rear of the ammeter, the brown wires are on the right.
