[QUOTE="1947Mk6, post: 496122, member: 32697"] Hi Geoff1946 and thanks again for your time. Both leads from the ammeter eventually end up in the engine compartment - one going directly to the "A" terminal on the voltage regulator, the other going via the isolating Switchbox in dash to the main fuse panel (also in engine compartment, located immediately underneath the voltage regulator). The wiring is essentially still as per the manufacturer's original wiring scheme, but with the polarity changed to neg earth. I've tried to attach the manufacturer's wiring diagram to this message for clarity, but it appears I can't do so in this box; please let me know if there is some trick I'm missing. Otherwise, there may be a site administrator's email I could send it to; it's a PDF file (680 KB). The original charge lead (between the dynamo and the voltage regulator has been disconnected/discarded , as has the field wire between the dynamo and regulator "F" terminal. The "Ind" wire from the new alternator is now connected (soldered) to the wire from the dash charge indicator light (prev. connected to the reg "F" terminal) and the indicator light is operating as it should. As mentioned earlier, the charge wire from the one-wire alternator has been upgraded (8B&S) and goes (via a newly fitted auto-reset fuse) directly to the battery supply terminal on the starter solenoid.
