The PO had collected two voltage regulator and since the availability of a NOS voltage regulator seems to have dried up, I decided to try to rebuild on. Took both apart and one was in pretty decent shape, the other was covered in rust. Sandblasted, painted the top/bottom housing. The components - Cut out relay, VR relay and current reg relay all seem to move like they are supposed to...Just needed to fix a busted wire.
The rubber seal between the top and bottom housing couldn't be saved. Figured I could just replace with some 5/16 in round rubber weather strip?
The rubber vibration dampeners for mounting the housing to the VR bracket broke off from age. Unless someone knows where I can order NOS or modern equivalents, I was thinking of drilling out the center and running a threaded stud thru in order to clamp the housing back to the bracket. Thoughts?
Last question - anyone know where I can get a new data tag. The lettering is not raised enough to try to restore by painting and sanding. I could just use the one on the right which is the better of the two.
