It was the daftest notion foisted on the world by the British car industry.Originally posted by Eli69 View Post
Any older cars I had back in the day I immediately converted to negative earth, just to keep them in line with the rest of the world (or Europe).
Anyone who's ever lunched a car radio by ass-uming anything about the earthing will know what I mean.
What I REALLY don't understand is the desire by some restorers to revert the cars to positive earth. Utterly stupid idea.---- Dave

Yes, British Fords as far back as I recall were Neg-VE, although there were probably some older ones that weren't. Positive earth still appeared in BMC cars for years into the 60s, but they all eventually became Neg.Originally posted by trevor View Post..............................
Another favourite bugging point of mine is the bone-headed 'originality' quest to take off perfectly fine alternator upgrades and replace them with wheezy old dynamos, just like they had when they left the factory.

Oh, man! First year! And what a year. New, enlarged Sportster, and months away from an insignificant little bike like the 903cc DOHC Kaw Z1.Originally posted by trevor View Post
