Hi Rupert
I think the only restriction club wise is the VSCC. Alternators are a no no. Even for daytime driving.
I have a recon 6 volt dynamo and use a diode instead of the cutout. Seems to work OK especially with leds. These are easily changed if regulations on a particular event forbid them.
I have to say part of the fun of vintage motoring is ensuring retention of the “period look” of the car and I think alternators are a bit incongruous when you lift the bonnet ?. That said I did have one on my first special.
Cheers
Howard
