I realise part of the challenge is to use an original spec. car but FFS, do you want to see it that drystone wall before you hit it?
My second special had a 12v system but it was cunningly disguised. A Fiat 500 dynamo innards fitted into an original dynamo body which had larger bore turned in it to accommodate. It kept a modern motorcycle gel battery well charged which I suppose for authenticity of appearance could have a vintage empty rubber Exide body.
I'm not suggesting anyone should cheat but then, where are you going to get original 1929 compressed air for the tyres?
