[QUOTE="Hugo Myatt, post: 20891, member: 99"] [b]Regulators[/b] I have a Ken Bell regulator (12vt) negative earth and a Ken Bell converted E3L dynamo (12vt field coil and armature). The regulator has a stainless base but the Miller type cover is actually made of some kind of plastic. The wires appear to be (age discolouration, poor eyesight and British winter daylight) red to headlamp, Yellow to D and Green to F on the Lucas Dynamo. The very early JG regulator supplied by Dave Lindsley was only available with a positive earth, at least, in the 12vt version and he required you to supply a gutted original Miller Regulator for him to fit it into and so the base would not be stainless. The wiring on my very ancient one is black to headlamp and blue and green to the dynamo. I have forgotten which way round. Subsequently the JG was supplied with either positive or negative earth, 6 or 12vt, in a metal replica Miller cover with a stainless base. I have no experience with JG 6vt versions. Looking at the photos I am sure this is a JG unit as supplied by Dave Lindsley. I thought he always used JG units and not V-Tec which required different internal wiring in the Dynamo, [/QUOTE]
