I fell off the planet while I've been hunting around for elusive parts (was hoping more "drop-in" parts would be available but I guess I don't have the right sort of car for that).

I also drown in forums, trying to answer "what 12v battery should I buy to convert to 12v system?" or "what is a good replacement wiring harness for a beginner?". There is so much information and so much conflicting opinions it's been a bit overwhelming to wade through.
