Got it, thanks. we can jump with 12 volts for short periods of time, turn off all 6 volt accessories, but what about the Pos ground, does that need to be considered? I guess not + is + and - is - the cables are still connected the same way. + to + and - to -?

We need quite a few parts for our 53 Dragon and more pop up all the time. For starters we are looking for the rubber that goes under the tail light housings and rear fender toppers, belt moldings for all door glass, the clear plastic parking lamps, the rear portion of the parking brake cable, amber fog lamps. Also looking for a speedo lense or complete speedo with a good lense, black on baige Laguna fabric and black bambu vinyl. Someone has replaced our original master cylinder with a dual reservoir mounted on the firewall where the windshield washer bottle should be. We would like to go back to the original set up and so we need a brake pedal system as well as a washer bottle bracket. Thanks! I'm sure we will be adding more

As a proud new owner of a '53 Dragon, Dream Girl and I are chatting about whether or not converting to 12 volts is a good idea. I'm very happy to see so many say 6volts is how the vehicle was designed and it worked well in '53 and will work today. I want to keep things original and have found that often times converting makes more problems in the long run. So Dream Girl is so much smarter than me, she asks "what if I need a jump?" Poses 2 questions Dear Forum, 1, how to handle the Pos ground in a jump start event and 2 most of what's on the road is 12 volts. How does one procur a jump start in modern America?
