How about either of these?

I recently was high bidder for a NOS, 6 volt, Hobbs meter. I served my
apprenticeship at Stewart-Warner so what can I say? Just could not resist

after
seeing the old familiar face.
I want to put the meter in the panel of an aircraft I am building, said
aircraft has a 12 volt system.
What I dont know about electronics and electricty would fill a library so

how
do I get from 12 volts to 6 volts?
Seems I remember when we used to convert the old VW beetles to 12 volts,

we
kept the 6 volt starter, changed the lights but kept the windshield washer
motor 6 volts. How did we do that?
Anyway, all help will be appreciated.
