Subject: Re: Power-Steering & Alternator Conversions.
Hi Guy, did you reverse the polarity yourself? I've done it to another car by touching the live wire against the body of the dynamo - very easy! My reservation with the Rapide is the rev counter and other electronic gauges - did you have a problem with these?
You could always refit the original dynamo at a later stage if you wanted. Fitting an alternator should be easy as the Rapide already has a thin belt compatible with most modern alternators - not sure if the control box needs to be adapted as well?
