Everybody forgets about Spitbits.com. Many parts are interchangeable and I can't see how the Voltage Stabilizer wouldn't be too. They list :T<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; display: inline !important; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);" class="ContentPasted0">his
Genuine Smiths Voltage Stabilizer will fit all MK4 and 1500 Spitfires. $21.00. Amazing they stay in business when only serving Spitfires, but their prices are always competitive. </span></div>

I didn't know their purpose was to put out 10V for decades. But the blinking test light has always proved a good unit for me. Maybe this is not true for the solid-state units. A bad one makes Fuel and Temp read too high, too full, too hot. But cold is cold
and empty is empty. Of course, YMMV. </span></font></div>

<span style="font-size:7.5pt; font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif">My fuel and temp gauges weren't moving so I put in a new voltage stabilizer I had on the shelf from sometime in the past. It came in a blue box marked British Spares. The gauges read now, but
the readings are very high compared to before, so problematic. I laid on my back with the engine running and tried to probe the stabilizer with a multimeter, but didn't get anywhere. I can try this again setting myself up better if you can test it this
way. I understand the stabilizer's function is to reduce battery voltage down to 10v for the gauges, so I presume you should see 10V on the I side. Masters' electrical book says its not so simple to test stabilizers.</span></p>

<span style="font-size:7.5pt; font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif">I've heard there's issues with the solid state stabilizers Moss/BPNW.sell. Not sure if Moss has rectified the issue. The Rimmer Bros catalog shows one with Caerbont Automotive written on
it. Caerbont seems to be the manufacturer of Smiths instruments nowadays. Not sure which one TRF sells, but they're on backorder there anyway. </span></p>
