Re: Re: How to start and what to look for?

Afternoon all,

Sorry to have been away from the forum for a while, been committed to building work, anyhow back now.

I’ve had an idea that I would like to run pass you, my car has one earth lead, the battery cable runs to an isolator mounted on the bulkhead and from there to the back of the block. That’s the only earth strap so in must be returning through the engine mounts? Would a additional earthing point help, I was thinking of a M8 brass stud mounted in the bulk head with a strap run to to load side of the isolator, so earthing the bodywork with the isolator closed.

Anyone have any other ideas or advice.

Secondly, can anyone recommend the best 12 volt conversation, at what would it cost to convert to 12 volt. I would love to keep her as orginal as possible but I can see the 6volt system is going to cause me trouble. At lease my 6 volt Willys jeep can be started easy on the handle!

If I go the 12 volt route what’s a good 6 volt dynamo and voltage regulator worth?

All advise gratefully received

Regards
