[Healeys] Voltage regulator query

[Michael MacLean]

I have had a solid state regulator in my Bugeye for several years now and it performs flawlessly.  It is better on the battery also.Mike MacLean

I have spoken to some other owners and done a lot of on line research. 
There are at least 3 or 4 different solid state regulators currently being 
advertised.  It fits inside the original Lucas regulator box and the parts 
are manufactured in England.  The older I get the more I am searching for 
reliability as long as it doesn't change the look and feel of my Healey.

Good luck with your search.

About two years ago I replaced the original voltage regulator on my BT7.

The replacement, made in India, worked okay, but recently I have had to
burnish the contacts on the main coil in order to get it to provide a
charge.

I have been thinking about refurbishing the rugged original Lucas
regulator. Its resistor is fine and the coils do not look overheated or
discolored.

Are there any suggestions about finding a rugged voltage regulator these
days?
