Default Re: Voltage regulator

It is very normal for the voltage setting to change slightly when the metal (steel) cover is fitted on to the regulator. You have to set the voltage high enough to compensate for the steel covers magnetic effect change. Some regs had aluminium or plastic covers to prevent this effect. I have repaired many hundreds of voltage regulators in past years when they were on almost every vehicle. Regards, Kevin.
