No, they never were 6V, but the wiring diagram I was pointing to would have shown it all well enough - it just happened to be for a 6 - 12V conversion. Careful with translating what I write, I speak what you would probably call British English, not American English, and sometimes things get lost in translation (that or my English is cr4p). :-) My point is that the 135s were mostly/all(?) fitted with a dynamo (and regulator box to handle the DC output regulation). If this one has been retro-fitted with an alternator (and built in regulator) instead, you won't need the external, dash mounted regulator box, and if it (the regulator box) has been left in the circuit, it will probably stop any charging from happening. The alternator output should go direct to the battery, not via any regulator/control box. If this 135 has an alternator, AND a regulator box, then I would strongly suspect whoever did the conversion got it wrong, and that this is why there is no charge to the battery. If it is a dynamo that is still fitted, then the control box is most likely at fault - they need an annual service to clean the internal contacts and you need to re-gap the contacts as well - I think 15 thou (0.38mm) is about right. Sorry if I caused any confusion/consternation, and hope this clears it up . . . .
