My carrier was converted to a 12 volts starter before I acquired it. I then had to convert the rest as I prefer the way it spins over on 12v. I had the help of an old guy Andy, who worked for Joe Lucas for most of his life. I have the standard 6v dynamo with no conversion and a 12 volt regulator and coil. I changed all the bulbs and Andy made resistors for the gauges. However I've never had the fuel gauge working? My system charges perfectly.
I note also that lots of guys who convert their Jeeps to 12v. Do so by still using the original dynamo and starter. I'm told that the shear size of these components will stand up to it?
