starkweatherr,
It sure sounds like you are only a few wires away from a fully functional 12 volt system. If the alternator is internally regulated, you are even closer to success.
If you change back to the 6 volt system, you are looking at a generator, regulator, battery, coil and maybe even lamps. Basically, your rig has already been switched to 12 volts...wouldn't you agree.
