Alternator coversion

Anyone had any experience converting a car from Dynamo to alternator. was out in the Healey yesterday with wipers and headlights on due to the crap weather. After a couple of hours driving, I found the battery had discharged enough that it struggled to turn the engine over when it cam to restarting. It did start however and continued to run fine, but it's clear that the Dynamo is struggling to keep the battery topped up when wipers and lights are on. I could get the Dynamo checked out and perhaps rewound if it needs it, but it would seem to make more sense to convert to alternator if that is the case and have better charging as a result.
Anyone have any advice?

That's a very good point. Solved the charging issue but melted the wiring in the process!

That's a good price Benters. Time for a phone call!
