G3 12 volt conversion

If your bike has an alternator (I believe it should for a 1960 machine) you can use a Boyer Bransden power box. This is a very simple conversion which only requires you to fit a 12V battery and bulbs and to remove the rectifier and connect the power box instead . All the wiring diagrams are very clear and are backed up by written instructions. I have fitted one to my 1965 AJS model 18. You can ring Boyer for a specification/instruction sheet on 01622 730939
