[T3] electrical issues (was:Speaking of headlights...)


Greg (and others),

Your last message brings us to the question of amps. If you re-wind your
generator how much more juice does that give you? Also, some people have
discussed switching theirs with a Type 4 Alternator, what power rating does
that have? And after any of these things are done, isn't the gauge of the
stock wiring going to be too small to handle such increases? How do you go
about rewiring or refusing your Type 3?

Thanks- Wilson

"...I am going to use 55W/60W bulbs since the
generator is only rated for 30A.  I am considering Jim A's suggestion to
get it rewound for 35-40A so that I won't be taxing the system when I run
my high beams.  The difference is the European headlights (at least the
Bosch H4 types) use a H4 bulb and are not sealed beam light like American
headlights.  The way I got mine was to do a search on ebay for 'K?fer
Scheinwerfer' which means beetle headlight (correct me if I'm wrong
Per).  I just had to have patience and diligence and finally got a set for
$5.00 and am now just waiting for them to get here.Greg"
