[Roadsters] Voltage regulator

[Stan Chernoff]

 From your description your mechanic has accurately diagnosed the 
problem.  Good mechanics usually get at least $100/hour.  As far as 
afternarket instrument regulators go, I don't know of any that give 
the same regulated voltage curve in operation.  Nissan had one model 
for 68-70 roadsters, another for 65-67.5 roadsters and other ones for 
510's and pickup trucks of the same era.  The mounting setup was 
different but all functioned the same electrically.  You can find 
several advertised.  The price for new unused electrical components 
that are no longer available from the original manufacturer is 
subject to availability.  Guess that is why gold is expensive.
