20161011 - 37480mi - Rectifier / Regulator Swap.

October 12, 2016

Burnt out the old r/r due to a battery jump from a RUNNING CAR. ~~~Not going to do that again!!

I bought a "Mister Electrical" r/r = p/n: Z030-0018N.

This is the only one I could find, with a plug, within my time frame (and that I only had $18 in my account...) ~~~I didn't find this MOSFET one at the time for only $27!! (I don't know if the bolt holes match up)

Timing and money is everything... heh... Oh well.

Trying to fix the order of the pics... right now, last is first.... Read more »

20161006 r r swap 01a - before I cut the old plug out. BTW, I did not have to alter the holes at all. I just needed longer bolts. Old wiring layout for reference.

20161011 r r swap 06a - After swap. I rec'd a picture from Mister Electrical tech support (lower left insert pic) on how to wire it. The stock one is placed there just for comparison. I also installed an old PC cooling fan to see if it will help... I have no baseline tho for performance levels. I mmmmay duct the fan in the future... ahhhhhh pipe dreams...
