Hi All,

Try the West Beach Caravan park, they have cabins as well. Access to the CBD is reasonably easy, 15 or 20 minutes. You will need to start booking now though
Also, Brighton is a bit furthe ...

Just noticed it has an alternator conversion as well. Might pay to check the charging circuit as well, because if you have dodgy wiring you will get heaps of problems.

Hi Crackers,

I assume it has standard front brakes? Mine had a booster as well, but also a disc conversion. It stopped really well. South Glenelg Brake services can check the master cylinder and s ...

Noel, I reckon that the IGN light provides excitation for the alternator. Pin 2 is B+, battery, and I would guess that Pin 1 has IND next to it under the plastic. Have you taken the cover off and had ...

It would be worth a shedload more if left original, not sure if thats your thoughts. Others may confirm/deny but MM convertibles are very rare.

BTW, what is the white coupe in the background?

Hi Bally,

From your research, do you know if this will work on a later MM? I believe they have the same motor as my Wolseley 24/80, and I threw this cct below onto the Farina Forum.

Hi Grant,

Do you still use a Generator? If so, does it work OK with the LED Indicator?

You need someone that has an armature growler to check it. Given that some auto elecs will tell you it is cheaper to buy a new generator or convert it to alternator, it may be hard to ...
