Re: Voltage regulator help

Hi Brian,
the car is a 1939 LA11 and don't know what was originally fitted.

RF72 maybe the part number for the regulator base


I bought the solid state relay from CDRC Ltd march 2021, part number ADR95 13A Pos earth. I had a conversation with Pete, told him the car and he said to get the ADR95.

Re: Voltage regulator help

Hi Syd,
do you know where I can find out what the gap for the contacts on RF91 regulator.
I have googled it but can't find anything?

Interestingly there is a fuse box on the Lanchester and the lighting circuit appears to be fused...

Time for some more investigation :D

Re: Voltage regulator help

Thanks Brian,
That is useful information..
Pete agree to take the regulator back and get it repaired for me.. He is at the Beaulieu autojumble so maybe a few weeks before I get it back.

Enough time hopefully to go through all the wiring and might just stay with the old regulator :D
