  Andrew,
  
  Extensive thread on this on the Totally Triumph Net:

  This was started by the excellent 'Vegaman Dan' who has posted the entire method on his own website:

  Or, the also excellent Mr.Tegler has a similar guide on his site:

  If you search for "Alternator MBG", you'll find this site, top of the list:

  With these to guide you, you really don't need a 'Kit'!
  
  I've just done this to my Vitesse. It boils down to two parts:-
  Getting and fitting a suitable alternator;
  Junking the Voltage Regulator and getting the wires reconnected right;
  
  Me, I'm terrfied of electricity, and it was straightforward to do.
  
  Good luck
  John
