Try as might when searching I found everything except this info? Please tell me Rover discovered negative earth by the time P5's came on the scene?  |

Ok thank you. I doubt they would have switched over mid production.

Thanks Phil so they change over mid production? How odd must have cost them to do so?

Not really - the Mk3 had upgraded wiring/fusing ready for the P5B with its alternator etc - earlier Mk's had only 2 fuses!

Ah yes 2 fuses I remember those in my other classics!
10 in my aircooled VW normally ;-)

I intend to convert my MkII to Neg earth, which I believe is a case of jumping the dynamo in to postive output.
Has anyone done this? My reasons for the change is that I intend to tow a caravan (When I can find the correct towbar) and it will be easier to run the car Negative earth than change all the charging/fridge etc.

Do not forget you will need to change the wiring over on the coil, not sure about the clock and have you a wireless in your car?.

I had the coil in mind - didn't think about the clock! The radio is, I assume an original, so that will need looking at.
Thank you for the reminders. When I am nearer to completeing it I will post the results.

Common upgrade only the radio and rev counter is likely to cause any problem - old rev counters are no good anyway!
