Regulator Mounting Plate

Alternative Mount for the Enduralast Regulator/Rectifier


1.  Stock voltage regulator location.
·      Regulator removed, frame sanded to bare metal.


2.  Mounting Plate
  • Drilled and counter-sunk.
  • Pan head screws are used in place of stock socket-head bolts.  
  • The regulator is mounted directly to the plate, over these screws.  The screw heads must not impinge on the regulator's underside
 

 3.  Plate mounted to frame.
  • I re-used the ground wires that were previously removed with the diode board.

 4.  Eduralast Regulator/Rectifier (ERR) Mounted
  • All metal-to-metal contacts sanded;  heat sink compund applied.
  • Ground wires attached to back side of mounting plate; bolts through ERR secured to plate.
  • ERR is well clear of gas tank and engine case.  Exposed to air stream; should be more than adequate cooling air.


5.  Back side (left side) of mounting plate.
  • I used M5 nuts and lock washers on the pan-head screws for secure mounting of plate to frame.


6.   Tank and ERR in place.
