[T3] 6V to 12V Question

[John Jaranson <jaransonT3@comcast.net>]

<x-flowed>OK, I have started upgrading Sophy's electrical system from 6V to 12V 
and I have come across something I am not sure of.  I am using parts 
from Jane ('71 Fasty) for the conversion.  On the wiring diagram for 
the 71 Type 3 there is a brown wire from the generator (D-) to the 
Voltage Regulator (D-).  This wire doesn't exist in Sophy's 1966 wiring 
harness.

Do I need to run a new wire?  Is it just a ground for the generator?  
Can I just run a wire from the generator to the ground strap near the 
rear engine hanger/handle?  Just ignore it?  Not really sure about this 
one.

Also, I will be in need of two 12V carb cut-off jets and two 12V choke 
elements.  Anyone have these for sale?

I will also have all of the various 6V electrical stuff available for 
sale once the conversion is done.  This will include:

Generator (2)
Voltage Regulator (2)
Battery
Coil
Lots of bulbs
A working clock
A working fuel gage element (i am keeping the gage case and face and 
just upgrading the fuel gage element)
Sapphire III AM Radio
2 Carb Cut-off Jets
2 Carb Choke Elements

All of it is in good working condition.  The generator from Sophy even 
has new sealed bearings that I installed when I rebuilt it.  Let me 
know if you are interested and we can work out a deal.

Later,
