    AUSTIN GIPSY

    CHARGING PROBLEMS

I was advised to convert it to negative earth, but to use a Dynator instead of the dynamo for better output. Not being totally confident with electrics I have followed the diagrams to my best ability, but on the dynamo there are three terminals with two white wires connected to one of the terminals, but nowhere for them on the Dynator. Please can you guide me?
