Re: 6 volt voltage regulator
The FP website says back ordered. But I believe most of the parts dealers carry them. I'd call around Monday morning and see if anybody still has one in stock.
The inevitable often happens.

Re: 6 volt voltage regulator
I have heard that one of the parts used to make the regulator is obsolete, hence the lack of production.

Re: 6 volt voltage regulator
I have one on backorder since September of 2018. Mr Birdhaven was at Chickasha, said he was very busy but would be making some more at some point. FWIW, jb

Re: 6 volt voltage regulator
I have also had one on order since September? Sure wished could get it, it's now touring season again!
People who wonder if the glass is half empty or half full, miss the point. The glass is refillable.

Re: 6 volt voltage regulator
There are plenty of old stock cutouts on ebay all the time or get a semiconductor (diode) type. Knock on wood, all I have ever had was old stock cutouts on my T for many years. I would not suggest the new type original style cutout however. There are still plenty of people that dont use the regulator or semiconductor types.
I know the voices aren't real but damn they have some good ideas!

Re: 6 volt voltage regulator
At a recent tour I saw a man with a tee shirt that said "6 Volt Guy Living in a 12 Volt World".. Says it all.
