    The Voltage Regulator on my TF needs some attention. I thought this might be a good time to switch to a solid state one, if such exists.

    I recall there was a chap making a conversion, but that he has since passed.

    Is there any source for such an item today?

    You should be able to get some black primer in a rattle can, just give it a very very light,see through dust over. then you'll be able to pick up on any issues easier when you block it off and it gives you a guide as to how far you've rubbed preventing the oh bugger I've gone through the primer issue--
    Primer is probably best for this as it's a bit softer and rubs back easier compared to topc...

    Yes, it sounds much better.

    Guide coat next. But what to use? I'm doing this in celly. Does it matter what I use as a light guide coat before flatting off. Something in a rattle can would be easiest.

    Thanks George!
    You too, LaVerne!

    Think I’ll keep the yellow one in the car…after all, it is painted 😀

    20 years after being wrecked I’m finally getting it ready to go back on the road…a hell of a lot harder in my 80’s than it was in my 60’s. Hopefully see y’all at a GOF somewhere next year!

    Don't know what the situation is in Canada but in the UK the bottom has fallen out of the older car market. Prices for anything pre 1970 have plumeted. There are lots of auctions reported on Youtube and many earlier cars don't reach their modest reserve. The consensus is people who remember older cars can no longer use or maintain them or are no longer with us. Compare this to 1970s hot hatches, ...

    I take it the single box set up is louder than the twin box?

  • Philip Sellen10 July 2025

    Yes thanks Guy, I did have that in mind.

    Hopefully it’ll bleed easily without the hassle that can sometimes accompany this exercise.

    BTW the side admin found the bug that caused my post not to work and fixed it and the post. Thanks for reporting this error so it could be addressed.

    The only image of it on the TC I once worked on isn't particularly useful.

  • ONLY 6662 MILES PRISTINE MG TF 135 IN GREY
