Amphicar radios...

[alaskanamphi]

After talking with a rebuild shop today I have decided to stick with the
generator and positive ground. Does any one know of a source for an AM/FM
radio for a positive ground car? Even better would be a CD player. I suppose
this is wishful thinking but I thought I'd ask.
Thanks, Craig

Hello Craig, Hows it going? I installed a neg. gr. radio with cd. and 4
speakers in my 62 . I bought Hughs inverter and it works great. Good luck.

Craig,
What did the rebuild shop say that changed your mind about the
negative ground conversion? I'm doing it to two Amphi's. I have the
fuel gauges converted to negative ground already. I'm using Triumph
Spitfire alternators and mounts but, believe me, the GM alternators
are far cheaper. I haven't changed the wiper motor wiring yet since
several people say it doesn't need it but it would be easy to switch
around anyway.

Hi, I think Hugh has them at a lot lower cost than $85. Tommy in Tampa

RE: Re: Amphicar radios...

I didn't really change my mind. I'm just putting it off for awhile. The shop
I went to is a European car repair place. A one man band sort of place not
far from where I live. The guy is an MG / Triumph nut. He is testing the
generator and going to let me know if it will be cheaper to rebuild or go
new. He mentioned around $85 for a rebuilt unit. If I can get mine rebuilt
for cheap I'll do that and then do the conversion in the summer when its
warmer. It's 11 degrees right now...
