Morris Minor Owners Club

started the conversion too an alternator today...
new brackets in place , alternator bolted in place
but im stuck with the wiring... i dont really want to be running new wires everywhere
ive seen the wiring help topics on here
so cant just use the old wiring...
i remember years back on my lotus cortina i just joined four wires together
is this possible on the morris...

thanks for you help

chris

alternators have their own regulators ,you can keep yours in the car but serving no function,show only .do a search on here and you will find the wiring diagram

hi yeah i no the alternator has a built in reg ... i missed the word 'wiring'

my plan is to use the original wiring for the alternator, leave the regulator where it is then with some old wiring fit a dummy loom
so it looks like it still connected

found the site is was looking for

connections as follows

disconect the 'e ' wire ... not req'd
connect 'f' & 'd' together
connect 'al' 'a' and 'd' together

which is what i did to my lotus cortina all them years ago...

This is doing my head in now .... HELP !!!!!!

Regulator has 8 wires.. Where am I going wrong all the wiring diagrams show five

It's dark under your bonnet, and a good few miles away, so go on, give us a clue.

Which model of Minor?

What wires (what colours) are connected to each terminal of your control box?

Do any of them look like add-ons, or are they all part of the original loom?

Hi
Please see instructions that came with my alternator, it did include the wiring conversion loom that connected to alternator.

I hope this helps with your wiring changes[frame][/frame]
