Wowzah ! You gotta do this thing. I took Grzegorz's advice and straight lined the regulator to the battery and got nearly TWO volts. Lola's been having charging issues for a while, putting out 12.1 volts at all RPM's. I 'spose the factory reg. is crapped out.
Before: 12.1
After: 13.9 / 14.1 above 1K
It's just a bit tricky , I used an existing 12G pigtail with a 25A fuse that came with a trickle charger. Disconnect battery, unbolt the regulator, skin the black/red and solder. Wrap it well, 'cause it will rub on aluminum and hot just loves a nice ground. There's NO WAY to get the plug end free from the gap between the engine and frame, so you'll hafta work underneath. Would be SO easy to do on a bench. That said, it took an hour or less.
Got me a cool white face old style volt gauge from Autometer (made in USA) and will mount it beside the speedo. Next step is a Rick's Regulator, and hope Ricky made a small enough plug to squeeze through that gap.
