Hi Alan,
I didn't find installing a new fuse box as a hassle. Almost all the wires
were right at the original fuse block. I did disconnect the headlight wire
from the regulator and splice it over to the fuse block, but that was it. I
have ten fuses now where there were only two.
Cheers,
Greg

Gary -
I'd drop the high cost items - most people would never make the conversions
due to too much money... so drop the gear reduction starter, five speed
gearbox, and modern fuse panel (huge hassle to rewire). I'd replace those
with:
1) FACET pump replacement for SU (very reliable),
2) Rear main engine seal
3) the Soft - Polyurethane trunion and a-arm bushes from Australia
And on the battery, I would specifically recommend getting the gel battery
i.e. Optima or Exide Orbital... and I would recommend getting it for all 12
volt cars regardless of 12 volt or 6 volt batteries.
Regards,
Alan
