    Sounds like it was a mission Garry. I've settled on getting a Painless Wiring kit which actually has each circuit name printed along the length of the wire, as well as coming with a complete wiring diagram so I will hopefully have a good base to work from. Any circuit not covered in the standard loom I will run of the accessories circuit and draw up axillary diagrams. Just yet to find a good program to do that in. I will most likely consume a lot of beer making sure it all gets installed properly though

    As stuee says painless wiring kit, I did the same although if you want to keep the six way lights etc you can by brand new looms for the 101 from Britain

    For the Alvis stalwart I am playing with, to over come the 24/12 volt wiring issuses I purchased one of these.

    Cost me $63 dollars delivered from the local auto parts place and rated for 30 amps which should be enough to power everything one would need 12 volt wise.
    It may be the way to go and dump that extra 12 volt altenator and keep things simple if you feel like a big rewire on your 101 in the future.

    I bought a 60amp 24v to 12v battery charger for my 101. One of the decisions when I finally get around to getting the 4.6litre in is whether to ditch the 12v alternator and just run with the battery charger - I need to charge an ancillary battery so the use of a battery charger. I have a couple of cheap 30amp 24v to 12v converters in my spare parts just in case something happened to the secondary 12v system.

    If you are not going to charge a secondary battery then a reducer will work fine.
