One good place to look for information is at the VTR Web site:
<www.vtr.org>, under the "Maintenance Handbook" section.
One question, though: do you really have an alternator now with a
positive earth setup? I know that Lucas made some positive earth
alternators. If this IS the case, I'm sure something must have to be
changed in the alternator, or the alternator itself would have to be
replaced with a negative earth alternator. If what you really have is a
Generator, the conversion is rather simpler, involving mostly turning
the battery around, repolarizing the generator, and switching or
rewiring any polarity-sensitive components such as radios, etc.
