Ferret Alternator Question

[rob love]

If the Cdn forces wanted a light, then there would have been a light. They wanted a gauge so you have a gauge.

The alternator is capable of putting out over twice the amperage of the British system, and was almost a drop in to the British vehicles. How could one ask for more?

If you really wanted the light, many of those alternators have an extra terminal hidden under their covers. It puts out AC voltage, and in the case of the MLVW, they use that AC to supply the electric tachometer. Perhaps, with a diode and a relay you could have the light working. But then you are starting to re-create the Iltis, with gauges and matching idiot lights.
