Default electronic voltage regulators (EVR)

I'm looking for someone that does the EVR for my 36 cabriolet. I know I can adjust the 3rd brush but would rather find a EVR if anyone out there is still making them. Any help would be appreciated.


Thanks Dan

I assume you want to replace the cutout that sits on top of the generator? There are voltage
regulators made that replace it, but if I'm correct you still have to use the 3rd brush to
to adjust the charging rate. I have a 12v neg ground one never used, but the charging rate has to be put at only about 10 amps if you are using a 6v generator. terry

Fun Projects doesn't make them any more but there was someone who could do the conversion to EVR. A conversion to a diode is still available but doesn't offer regulation.

Yes looking to replace the cut out with a EVR. Several vendors list them but all are "Out Of Stock".

Just wondered if there was someone here that may be able to help.


Thanks Dan

There is a fellow in Alberta who posts on VFF who is making them apparently. They are for Model
A's but may also work on later generators. Just do a search for EVR on that forum.

Recently the MTFCA forum announced that Model T voltage regulators have been redesigned using new components and are available for sale. They are working on 8volt and 12 volt versions and are looking into positive ground versions.

Sorry, but I'm not familiar with either VFF or MTFCA.



Thanks Dan

For VFF you have to change net to com, this site will not let you link
to VFF.

There is a note on that site's home page that the EVR's are now for sale by "30TUDOR" for $80. I use the same type on my Model A and it works great. Not sure if he has posted here previously.
