Have you sourced a 12V dynamo? If not, consider a Dynamtor :

It will give you an alternator output from a dynamo shaped component, retaining the original looks but giving you the output you need to keep everything charged.

Would i be right in thinking you're converting to negative earth as well?

To answer your question about the starter solenoid, i'd strongly advise changing it to a 12V solenoid, the starter motor you'll probably get away with but if you can find a 12V one that will fit, use it! Failing that, get yours converted to 12V ideally.
