Voltage Regulators NOW SHIPPING!
Posted: Fri Sep 08, 2023 10:45 pm
Its been a very long road but a final BIG push this week and 3 helpers made it all come together. Building the base of the regulator can and all that entailed was quite challenging. So many obstacles had to be overcome I lost count.
The first batch of 50 units goes to the Post Office TOMORROW. What a milestone! Additional batches will come shortly thereafter. THANK YOU to ALL of the supporters for this project including John Hunter, Luke, Tony Bowker, and many others who pushed (and pushed) me to do all this. You can read the original forum posting from almost 2 years ago. It really is quite educational.

All of the first batch will ship with the Ford logo since I'm using old Cuttout tops that many of you folks have sent me. They may not be perfect, mostly because some of them are over 100 years old. But we cleaned them up and they ALL look great. When I run out of the Ford Script versions you can send me just your cutout top (or the whole thing) and I'll build you one w/ your Cutout top. Licensing the Ford logo is NOT in the cards. Reusing old cutout tops certainly is! Sometimes you gotta get creative!
They all come with a prewired fuse holder, 20A fuse, and VERY detailed instructions. I now know why so many of John Regans Regulators have failed. If you don't disconnect your battery when you install it or you treat it like a cutout, you WILL very likely blow it up. It's not a Cutout. Like all modern voltage regulators it has sensitive electronics inside.
Phew, now I can finally get a good nights sleep!!
