Thanks Lynn for the info. It's just the guages that I'm concerned with right now. So, I think I'll just try them as normal (but with an inline fuse just for insurance) and see if they work. Guess that will tell the tale won't it...

Default Dash Gauges - 6 to 12 volt conversion

Ross,
It's your system but before you go ahead please consider the following: To be able to use your original dash gauges with a new 12 volt system you will need to install a voltage reducer such as a Runtz tranistorized voltage reducer on each electrical dash gauge except the Amp gauge. A Voltage gauge simply needs to be "tweaked" to work in a 12 volt system. Using these will provide you with accurate gauge readings as well as prevent them from being damaged from excessive amperage or inaccurate voltage.

Regards,
Jim
