WTB: original constant voltage regulator

[BAC]

Looking for an original (mechanical style, not solid state) 5V constant voltage regulator as usually found bolted onto the back of the dash cluster.

Prefer '69-'73 but will consider earlier - let me know what you have.

Hi Brian, I have one - NOS if I recall.

NOS?    Not sure if I can pay that sort of money. 

PM me anyway with a price and I'll have a quiet cry...

Why do you want a mechanical one when you can easily make a reliable, fully electronic one for $5? I converted mine while the cluster was out even though it was ok just for the heck of it so I didn't have to do it later? The mechanicals ones eventually fail due to heat and mechanics and the electronics all fit inside the original case and fit behind the instrument cluster?

If you look on Mustang Tech, go to home/tech zone/electrical and you will see the article there to help you do it. You just need a basic soldering iron and a couple of cheap parts.

Excellent question!  It's not for use in my car, it's for a mate who's designing a digital device to correct temp gauge readings in classic cars.  He's onto the Mustang phase of his project and needs a regulator and temp gauges from various models to take measurements from.  I'm supplying a gauge pod from a '71-'73 but don't have a spare regulator.

It needs to be original as the mechanical ones behave differently to the solid state versions.

Good idea. Does he need to borrow a temp gauge for a ‘69/70 tach dash?
