Hi, I converted my Ruby to 12v over 18 months ago using a diode to replace the cutout and a few series resistors to lower the voltage to approximately 6v for critical items. I don't agree with the comments that the gauge is not voltage sensitive; IT IS! It may be that it will carry 12v but any safety levels built into the original design will have been removed. The sender unit is unaffected by the voltage used. Finally, I kept the three brush dynamo, it means I can take a dynamo off of a 6v car, put it on my 12v car and it works immediately without any modification and produces 12v.
Email me if you need more information. Malcolm Watts
