Regulator Luggs

The Rear frame section fitted to my wd m20 has no lugs to fix the voltage regulator ..how was it fitted of are thay missin??

Re: Regulator Luggs

It's bolted under the saddle on the mudguard. You should find two holes there matching the holes in the voltage regulator. You should use rather long bolts and rubber washers to prevent the regulator from vibrating to much.

Re: Regulator Luggs

I think it's a strange arrangement because you are fitting a regulator with flat feet to a curved surface. Also it's better to fit the longish 1/4" bolts from the underside with nuts to tighten them to the mudguard. then the rubber buffers and them tap them inwards to line up with the regulator holes before fitting the regulator with two nuts. Otherwise you will have to remove the rear wheel to take the regulator off for any reason. Ron

Re: Regulator Luggs

On Nortons you have to remove the toolbox to loosen the regulator bracket. Daft, isn't it ?

Re: Regulator Luggs

I made up the mounts from a piece of Hexagonal bar...I turned down one end, threaded it and that went through the mudguard with a washer and nut (which I applied Locktite to)...

The other end I turned down and threaded with sufficient length to take...a plain washer, a 5/16" thick rubber washer, the regulator, another plain washer and a nut and locknut...That way the amount of 'compression' of the rubber washers could be adjusted to the desired degree...The rubber washers allow for the fact the mountings are not at right angles to the 'feet' of the regulator as well as insulating it from direct vibration....

Finally I slotted the mounting holes in the regulator with a round file to ease fitting and removal, as the mounting studs lie at an angle after fitting to the mudguard...

I kept the hex. part of the mounting and the threaded upper part to a minimum as the longer they are the greater the distance between them due to the angle...To help that I used one full nut with a 'half nut' as a locknut..Ian

Re: Regulator Luggs

On 13 January 2014 I asked for the position of the regulator. Now the new Forum picture gives an answer. F A D and E Terminals at front side. Question for Henk, is this a dated picture or a new on? Is this position what it has to be?
Thanks in advance for answering, Lammert de Vries

Re: Regulator Luggs

It would presumably be usual for the 'FADE' identifiers to bs visible when attending to the regulator ? They certainly are on most installations.
