Hi guys i was wondering if anyone can shed some light on the fact that i have a 49 model g , and my voltage regulator says its a mcr1 but all the replacements i can find is mcr2 , i guess my question is , will this regulator work on my system , i dont want to convert to 12 v , i like the 6 v system and i want to keep it as stock as possible.
Thanks for your time .and have a great day

better route to go is a solid state regulator fitted inside a gutted Lucas case

Hi SAboy



You are a bit south of us aren't you?



Pity cos I found this for the UK, and it seems promising, although I have no experience of their work.





Regulator conversions

I think it's fine to fit the MCR2, it is an improved unit with a different terminal layout but that won't make any difference to the way it works. I have found that 6v systems can be quite good, even for limited night time use but everything must be in really good condition for it to work well. I can endorse the CDVRC site, (check out the top quality LED stuff,) Pete that runs it is a friend of mine and a real enthusiast. Most of his work is on cars but he is a motorcyclist too with a 1934 BSA 600 Sloper among other things. REgards, Mark

Thanks a million guys thst is really good advise , and i intend to look into it right away , as always you guys come up with a solution, thanks again.

Mark M,



I guess the "electronic reg conversion fitted to my 1955 Enfield Bullet" is still running well?



I do read the customer reviews!
