Re: 26th Series 12v Conversion Thread

My 53 Clipper was already converted to 12v when I got it in 1995. I drove it about 15 years on the 6v starter, and never broke the starter. I never had to tax the starter too badly, which probably helped. The ring gear on my flywheel was a little worse for wear though. I recently rebuilt the starter with 12v fields, and it still turns over pretty fast when starting.
Converting the solenoid in the Overdrive is another challenge. (Danke Ross)
I also installed a 55/56 blower motor, and my original horns are loooud.
