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.

I have heard that one of the parts used to make the regulator is obsolete, hence the lack of production.

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! :shock:

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.
