The MGA With An Attitude
SOLID STATE VOLTAGE REGULATOR (2) - ET-232
Oh, you didn't like the last one? Well here's a better idea for a solid state voltage regulator for your generator (about twice the price but still reasonable).

"Yes I do make solid-state conversions of Lucas regulators. I can do 5 post, 9 post, and I have done one for a recreation of a MGA Sebring race car being built in Fla. They fit in the Lucas cases so that they appear original. I can make them either positive or negative ground. They will have current limiting to protect the dynamo (generator) from burning itself out and temperature compensation for cold/hot weather voltage compensation. All in all very up to date, modern performance but within the limits of the dynamo installed.
To proceed I need a regulator to modify and info as to the generator it will be used with, so I know where to set the current limit. Also positive or negative ground. The price is $80 plus $5 shipping. The regulator need not operate, or even have it's original relays, it does need a base that is suitable for buffing to make it look better. At this time I have no way to refinish the terminals, or the fuse holders on a 9 post.
If this sounds like something of interest to you, email me and you can ship your regulator carcass to:
Wilton Auto Electric
10 Stoney Brook Drive
Wilton N.H. 03086-5151
Put a note in the package confirming your order and giving me a return address to ship your regulator back to. Turn around is about 1 week.

Additional foot note: The screw threads for the terminal screws in the fuse box and voltage regulator are 1/4-26 BSF threads. If you need replacement screws I suggest you find a junk fuse block or junk regulator. The screws are obviously still made, somewhere in the world, as replacement regulators and fuse boxes are still being supplied. I just have no idea where to buy the screws new in the USA
