[Tigers] Regulators

[Owain Lloyd]

Thanks Tom.  I'll take a look at those pulleys.

After reading some of Theo's links, it looks like is a 'three wire' regular
that the alternator manufacturer has taken the sense wire from the output
leaving two external terminals.  I intend to add one more terminal to take
a sense wire from the 'dash'.   I hope with the regulator screwed to some
copper or aluminum with heatsink compound and this in turn attached to the
1/4" aluminum casing, it should be kept much cooler and still work inside.
 I'll add a heat shield from the exhaust and that will hopefully be enough
to keep it sufficiently cool.
