    Posted: 12 Jan 2012 at 10:37pm
Looking to convert 1949 G back to 6v positive ground. My grandfather bought this G new in 49. I have the 6v generator which likely needs rebuilt. What other parts will I need? Heres a list of ones I think I need.
6v coil
3 position light switch that controls charging rate
New wiring harness
6v battery
6v ammeter 30-30
Starter?

Any comments would be appreciated.

   If your generator needs rebuilt, why not just convert it to a 12 volt ?

Amp meter doesn't care abut voltage only measures amps. you will need a 6 volt cutout relay or voltage regulator, starter if it works now will work on 6V or 12V, 
 If generator is good 12V now keep it , if you have to rebuild one it's the same for 6 or 12V but finding the 6 volt reg might be harder . 
 See if Steve at B&B who has adds on her has the wiring harness or the other things you need . 
Life lesson: If you’re being chased by a lion, you’re on a horse, to the left of you is a giraffe and on the right is a unicorn, what do you do? You stop drinking and get off the carousel.

It has been modified to 12v with an alternator, was hoping to restore to original 6v setup. Plan to completely restore if I can find all the parts I need. Just got it started tonight. Hasnt been run in several years.
Thanks for the info on the cutout relay and that my starter should work.
