T Robinson Posted July 19, 2009 Report Share Posted July 19, 2009 Hi All, I have fit an Alternator to my 1956 TR3. It is a TR7 type alternator, the 2 wire type. Now here's the thing! The ammeter shows a charge but the red light won't go out. Any ideas chaps??? Regards, Tony Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ianc Posted July 20, 2009 Report Share Posted July 20, 2009 Tony - I suspect a missing link! If you e-mail me (ifcornish@btinternet.com), I'll send you a copy of my article on conversion to alternator, which was originally published in TRAction 118 and can be found on the Technicalities CD. It covers installations on TR2/3 and on TR4, and is based upon my use of a TR7-type alternator (although the guidance is applicable to other types as well). I am told, by people who have used it as a guide, that it is helpful. Ian Cornish Quote Link to post Share on other sites
