That was the course adjustment the fine adjustment was where the leads from the meter were soldered to the shunt(I think). Infact now I think about it more I think the meter was an amp meter so would have been just as you said.

Hah just goes to show, a real all round guy knows how to fix a mower, balance a cheque book and roll your own 200 Amp bronze shunt. I like bronze shunts, easy to solder to, conductive and corrosion resistant.
