re the electronic ign, i was told to look for a 12v distributor and coil and they could be wired for electronic ignition, apparently its important that they are "matched" but that may be a bit down the line yet.
I'm also looking at chancing the electronic temp gauge for a mechanical thermostatic one too...
then comes the ammeter... from what I've read, as the ammeter doesn't measure voltage but amps, they should work on a 6v,12v or 24v system so long as they can measure the range, but I'm hoping for a definitive answer that a "12v" 50amp range ammeter is ok to use on the 24v system

Re: wiring on 24v oil gauge
How are you getting on with the Jeep? Not sure we're going to have any significant events in the first half of the year, but I'm hoping we may get a few later, so it would be good if you're all up and running reliably for later this year.

Re: wiring on 24v oil gauge
Hi Steve, basically up and running, just doing cosmetic jobs really, got new gauges to go in, some painting, re installing indicators
but she runs, drives (when I'm allowed out by the govt!) and stops

Let's hope we get to meet up at a show later in the year!

Re: wiring on 24v oil gauge
starting to put dates into the diary
looks like July onwards will be full of choices !
managed to have a few hours in the garage with Lizzie got my brake lights working again. I thought the switch might have failed, but it was just a loose cable on the switch blades. problem was one of the wires was a tad short and whatever had held it on had come off. So had to fashion a short length then get it fitted. trying to access the brake switch isn't easy
I couldn't get the heat shield below it off but after banging my head on the sump a few times I was able to reach my fingers in to slot the wires on and it worked!! feel really chuffed with only a mild concussion and oil up to my armpits
also put in a new paper air filter to replace the oil bath filter and a new 6 block junction for the wires.
