After yet another Dynamo failure, I am considering changing to an alternator, but to retain the original period look under the bonnet, I thought that I might go for one of the Stealth Dynamator's 45amp. But when it comes to fitting this, the wiring up, the old RB340 regulator and its wiring to it has to be discarded, which I am not really wanting to do. Has anyone else fitted one of these "alternators inside a dynamo casing" to their car, and any ideas how I can wire it up? My thoughts, is that if I can fit a sort of "dummy" RB340 regular box (nothing inside it) and keep it on the inner wing and somehow fitting blank offs to the wiring terminals, inside the RB340 box. This is because I dont want to cut the spade terminals off the original Viva HB loom. By cutting off these wires to the regulator box, this will not only be tatty and not original looking, but if I ever decide to swap it all back to dynamo again in the future, the wiring would still be there intact. That way I always have the option of reverting back to a dynamo at any time and just fitting a working RB340 in place of the "dummy" . Anyone clever with electrical ideas?
