Dynamo voltage not a problem, they supply 12 volts to lots of people who have converted their systems.
The dynamo is regulated when the battery is in the circuit - 6 volt battery means a 6 volt system, 12 volt battery is a 12 volt system.
The cut out senses the difference between dynamo and battery, when dynamo voltage reaches battery voltage, the cut out closes and the dynamo is supplying voltage to the required level.
Austin missed a cost saving trick when in production - you just fit a 12 volt bulb in place of the "ignition" light, you don't need an odd voltage bulb and dropper winding.
