As part of the upgrade of your regulator we do a cosmetic clean up of the case before we install our solid-state digital upgrade. While all regulators may not turn out looking "factory new" most can be cleaned up to look period correct.

Check out the photos below to see how a recent regulator upgrade turned out.

  •   "I purchased one of your solid state digital regulators for my 1961 MGA.  I had an old Lucas one.  The regulator seems to work but the gauge (an after market one) would fluctuate up and down.  Also my batteries would not stay charged unless I was traveling. I thought they were going bad.  I decided to try your regulator and what a difference!  My gauge stays perfectly steady, my battery maintain a full charge and as a bonus I now can maintain a positive charge when I run my Halogen headlights and the heater.  You have such a wonderful product I will be purchasing another one for my 1960 MGA. Thank you Vintage Mecha-Tronics. D.P., North Carolina "
    		  



  •   "Thank you for your quick turnaround.  Unlike most people I use my TR3 as a daily driver.  I average about 10,000 to 12,000 miles a year so I need a reliable charging system.  I went though two third world replicas before I found you.  I have already put several thousand miles on the car and your regulator is fantastic.  My battery stays perfect and my lights are always bright now I can run the car with confidence. Thanks again. H.B., North Carolina "
    		  
  •   A shop in Florida purchased one of our regulator upgrades for one of their customers. Here's what that customer had to say
    "    Thank you Dean.  My regulator arrived in less than a week.  It was a snap to install and it works wonderfully.  Finally I have a reliable and accurate charging system.  The needle on the amp gauge is rock solid and it stabilizes very quickly.  I measured my charge rates and the system is comfortably staying at 14.4 volts without overcharging my battery.  You have a great product.  Thank you for taking the time to answer all my questions. I will definitely recommend this regulator to all my British car club owners.  BC, South Carolina"

    "    I have installed the new control box per your directions.  It is working perfectly.  I am very pleased with the product and will recommend it to members of the Tucson British Car Register any chance I get."
