Re: [T3] 6v/12v clocks.

PhilN=> Will my 6 volt clock, speedo and other dash instruments 
=> (ignition for instance) require adaptation to work with 12 volt?

You'll need to use a small 12-6V stepdown for your clock, and you'll 
have to switch your dash bulbs. You didn't mention the wipers; it's best 
to switch to a 12V motor and switch. The rheostat on your dash lights 
will work with 12V, though it may have a shorter life. Others have said 
your fuel guage will work OK; I changed mine to 12V. Your speedo does 
not use electricity. The ignition switch need not be changed. You'll 
need a 12V flasher.
