Conversion of 120 rear lights for turn signals etc
Home away from home
Home away from home

Brian Wilson
I am the proud new owner of a lovely 1941 Packard Club Coupe, which has been fully restored over many years. One of the things I'm not so happy about is that it was converted to 12 volt electrics somewhere along the way. This works fine, but the alternator is a bit of an eyesore. I see someone in the US produces 12V (?) alternators in generator casings. Has anybody had experience with one of these?

Second question. The car is now fitted with turn signals, a very handy safety measure since it's LHD. The front signals are nicely integrated into the sidelights with an orange globe - surprisingly effective - but the rear are tacked on bullet lamps which look out of place. Has anybody found a way to integrate the rear turn signal lamps into the standard rear lamp housings? Yes, it would be red (not orange) but could be made more visible with an LED globe? I expect to use the car fairly regularly on the road (on club plates).

Any advice appreciated.
