Default Converting ww2 mb wills jeep from 6 volt to 12 volt
hHi All

I am changing my 1942 MB Willys Jeep from a 6 volt system to a 12 volt system. After a quick inspection I believe I can change to an Alternator with regulator built in, doing away with the large 6 volt mounted regulator on the mud guard, I will have to change the coil and globes and front sealed beams.

I will have to make some modification when fitting an Alternator so the pullys for the fan belt all line up. I am wondering if anyone out there has done a convertion and maybe give me a few hints and what I actually need to do. I have been told that going 12 volts will make it easier to start and keep the battery charged.

Any advise or pictures of convertions will be very much appreciated.

Cheers

Little Jo
