That alternator is early Clubman, is internally regulated.
Leave the regulator plug on the loom empty.
Plug the brown/yellow wire into the ind terminal. The field wire to alternator is not used.
Not too early Doc. Early clubmans were externally regulated. towards the end of 71 they changed to internally regulated
This is a post I made in the thread referenced at the start of this discussion.
By sheer fluke today I came across a Parts Amendment Advice dated June 1972 for the Mini Clubman parts catalogue (PUB1052). It announces the change from the Lucas 15AC alternator to the 15ACR (part 62921219A) across the Clubman range.
The Car Number change points for the three models are:
YG2S6 - 2017
YG2S7 - 3053
YG2S8 - 1014
In the case of the Clubman GT (YG2S8) this equates to a February 1972 delivery car.Thats Interesting Doug
I have a 12/71 GT that is internally regulated (reason I said end 71)
The wiring all looks correct and unmodified. In fact the front loom has reversing lights wire and switch on the gearbox. But there isnt any wire in the rear harness (reverse lights were adopted in 72).
I can only suggest that either the documents are wrong
OR
My car melted the harness out at somestage and the only front loom available was a 72 and they replaced it with this.
I will have to have a closer look now
