[Healeys] Radio, changing from positive ground to negative ground?

[s.hutchings at rogers.com]

I had an old Austin 1800 with positive ground- I just isolated the negative ground radio from the chassis and ran it as negative ground. It depends on the radio design whether you have enough room to sheath it in something like very thin plywood.

The inverter ran all the time and made a high pitched slightly audible squeal.  After it drained my battery I added an inline switch.  It also would cut out for a second if there were a sudden voltage change, such as tapping the brake lights.
