Degsy Posted September 1, 2006 Share Posted September 1, 2006 Jack, I'm sure you'll be pleased with the results, do you know exactly what the kit consists of or is it going to be an 'Open the Box' job. :-o :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do I have to change/replace the coil? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArtistsRifles Posted September 15, 2006 Share Posted September 15, 2006 Ok, kit arrived! Any important does or don'ts? Many thanks. Jack. Yes - read the instruction through at least 3 times, put them back in the box, put the box away for 3 or 4 days then get it out and re-read the instructions another 3 times!! Once you've done that - lay the parts out and get a feel for where and how they go. THEN think about fitting it!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Posted September 15, 2006 Author Share Posted September 15, 2006 Tonight Matthew, I am going to be a fitter :schocked: So, what are the three wires on top of my alternator? I know that other one is an earth but what are the other two and what do they do? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArtistsRifles Posted September 15, 2006 Share Posted September 15, 2006 If you are asking that question Jack then, joking aside, you should SERIOUSLY think about getting an auto-electrician to do the job for you!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Posted September 15, 2006 Author Share Posted September 15, 2006 If you are asking that question Jack then, joking aside, you should SERIOUSLY think about getting an auto-electrician to do the job for you!!! ........what are you saying about my skills Neil :evil: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArtistsRifles Posted September 15, 2006 Share Posted September 15, 2006 Oh - just thinking you might save yourself a load of grief and abuse (self- and forum-based) if it goes wrong!! I personally HATE vehicle electrics with a passion - but am currently involved in trying to get little Maud's headlamps working again.......... This involves hanging upside down from a roof hatch inside her with ones head stuck under the dash trying to work out which of the numerous white wires go where - and why!!

Jack Posted September 15, 2006 Author Share Posted September 15, 2006 Ok, so where is Degsy, Matt and Karoshi when you need them :cry: :oops: This is going to be straight forward enough Neil - just don't know what those wires do :blush: :flower: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Degsy Posted September 15, 2006 Share Posted September 15, 2006 Yes, read the destruction book and disconnect the battrey before you touch anything! :-D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Posted September 15, 2006 Author Share Posted September 15, 2006 But what do those two wires do and do I need to change the coil? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Degsy Posted September 15, 2006 Share Posted September 15, 2006 Yes, you need to get a 12v coil, don't know any thing about 3 wires on top of the alternator, you need to take the main feed off the large terminal on the alternator to the starter switch and a wire from the small terminal to the ignition switch, this circuit MUST have a warning light incorpirated into it. This is just from memory Jack as of course I have no vehicle to refer to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack Posted September 16, 2006 Author Share Posted September 16, 2006 oh flipping heck...... .......thank god for Oddball, he came, he saw, he sorted it, he took the p*%$. Now knowing what needs to be done, this is a very very simple conversion and the kit that I bought was second to none, very pleased and will write up a report, Best wishes. Jack "12 volt" Beckett.
