Ferret Alternator Question

[Brad Mills]

Some photos I took of my Ferret for reference. This is how I received it. If there is something more specific you need to see I can take some photos for you. Gauges are easy to find, on Epay all the time. Not much to the bracket.

Hope these help a bit.

Ebay also has the little green lens for the end of the turn signal arm. http://www.ebay.com/itm/OLD-Vintage-...2OaTCQ&vxp=mtr

Malcolm as far as the British conversion using Generator No.10 goes the P & R connections are shown on page 64 of this

I found one voltmeter and panel so I'll hook it up and confirm it works.

Clive, the Canadian alternator upgrade did away with the generator panel. The alternator is wired with one light wire for field excitation and one heavy charging wire.

I'm puzzled again. A member kindly sent me the 20 page Canadian Forces installation instructions for this modification. It's very badly written IMO, but it does have a wiring diagram that clearly shows the P wire from the charge light on the switch panel going to the field winding connection on the alternator.

I have tried this and can't get it to work. The alternator overcharges badly using the P wire. As I mentioned in the posts above, the modified Ferrets we have all use the R wire, so I'll stick with that.
