Re: wiring harness???
If your existing 6 volt wiring harness is in good condition, it will work fine with 12 volts. If you are going to replace the wiring harness, I go with a 6 volt (heaver gauge wire) harness anyway. Alternators and brackets are available through most “specialty after market” places like Speedway. I'd mount the fuse box somewhere that is easily accessible either inside the car or under the hood.

Re: wiring harness???
I just installed a harness from Tyree Harris in my 51 and the kit came with all the fuse holders. I went with a 6v alternator and bracket from Macs. In my opinion, with a 6v alternator, there is no need for going 12 volts. The overdrive kicks in strong and the lights work much better. With a alternator, you may have to go with a longer belt.
