My gauges have been failing, so I've decided to replace the old ones with new gauges and senders.

I'll be replacing the ammeter with a voltmeter. To safely remove the ammeter, do I simply disconnect / remove the orange wires that run from starter to the ammeter, then alternator, and lastly connect a new 6 ga. directly from the starter to the alternator using the same connection points?

I drew a quick diagram which may show it better. I plan to disconnect the orange wires and put the new "green" wire in their place.



Thanks!
