Hi all
After breaking my heart, re-conditioning an old generator from my parts (junk) stash, to replace the sickly one on my 1600 '72 deluxe beetle....to find it didn't work after installing it and polarising it, I'm considering an alternator conversion.
I've a couple of alternators (and pedestals) in the stash (one off a running
1200 engine and one off a running 1600 engine), which I will look to get bench-tested locally today (should have done that with the 2nd genny, duh!), and assuming at least one of them is OK, I want to look more into what's involved in the conversion before making the final decision. (I still have a couple more gennys in the stash too) Would like to, in the future, put in one or two 12v sockets (for phone/sat-nav charging etc) and run a CB radio....and the car is already running a good stereo and a diesel eberspacher, so I'm assuming an alternator conversion is a more logical set-up anyway, yes?So, can anyone point me in the direction of any good online resources, step-by-step guides etc on what hubby and I need to do.
Thanks in advance
Caroline
