Re: winch

Re: 6V to 12V converter
Herb is correct, that solenoid works just fine with a stock 6 Volt system. No need for a 6 to 12 volt inverter.

Re: Rear view mirror - interior
A&L Model A Parts used to make this reproduction clock-mirror and they were pretty decent. However, I don't think they make this any longer.

Re: Embarking on a Laycock-overdrive odyssey
I concur with Herb, the overdrive works fine off the 6 volt positive ground system. One toggle switch and a single wire. Don't forget the reverse lock out switch you need to add to the transmission...

Re: Overdrive
I have no problem with the 6 volts activating the solenoid on my Laycock OD. But one thing you do need is to have clean connections and use 14 or 12 gauge wire for the electrical connections. This...

Just to confirm, with engine off, if you put the transmission IN 1st, and push the clutch to the floor, does the engine start right up with no problem.

Re: Robe Rail Question
