Description: Is there one available that will fit where the original one does? Maybe one that looks factory?
I see in the sticky 32E post that the 3 to 2 brush conversion can be done and still keep the 6v system. I have found the pics in the manual for this, but don't see any info on the regulator.
Is there one available that will fit where the original one does? Maybe one that looks factory?
My gen set is the 32E, and I just finished putting in new brushes, bearings, and seals. The fields and armature tested good with an ohm meter.

Dan!
You can either choose the 74510-47 Duo-Glide mechanical regulator, or a modern solidstate box. Either will have to be relocated.
The easiest, and easiest to hide, is a SS unit on a bracket under the generator.
I have searched for a loophole to allow me to do this conversion AMCA-correctly on one of my '49s, but the -47 regulator came out on singles, thus there is no correct civilian bracket to install it upon a big twin until '58.
(Perhaps there was a police application?)

Thanks for the info Cotten.
I think that I will try again to get the 3 brush going again.
