Unless this is a national level concours winning K-G, I would do a 12 volt conversion with an alternator and all associated 12v items. Many years ago a neighbor of mine named Kerry used to rebuild 3 or 4 K-Gs a year and he always used 12v electronics to eliminate the 6v hassles. He was the guy that introduced me to Garage Los Ponchos in 1980 as he got all his body and electrical work done in TJ. They had an alternator that looked like a stock generator and voltage regulator looked stock too.
