As the restoration of the Pearl is about to commence I have been giving thought to converting to 12volt especially as an alternator in a 'look alike' body is now available.
The advantages seem to be: no cut-out required, readily availability of components (bulbs, wiper motors etc), doubling the voltage halve the current so wiring requirements are reduced and ancillaries could work better.
However I have yet to identify any disadvantages other than originality. I would appreciate any observations.
