  • The lights, coil and horn should all be changed for 12V items. Make sure the new coil is connected the right way round: the "-" terminal should be connected to the maroon wire that goes to the points (assuming negative earth)

  • There's no need to change the condenser if you are sticking with the Wipac points ignition.

  • If you wire the system for negative earth, then you can use widely-available LED bulbs

  • I tried two different LED headlamp bulbs. They were nice and bright, but both failed after a few months due to the cooling fan breaking. I'd recommend only using fanless LED bulbs. I have since found that the alternator has enough output to power a proper 55/60W H4 halogen, so I just use one of those.

  • If you are using negative earth, then don't forget to swap the wires to the ammeter, otherwise it'll read backwards
