If you're converting the car to 12 volts, converting the starter is a part of the job. If that is not done, the job hasn't been done properly. Any job done half assed won't be much good IMO. I've done about 70,000 miles in my A since I converted to 12 volts (I did the job properly) and have had no problems, only enjoyed the advantages.
