Hi All,

I have just added some "Smiths" guages to my 850 and as a result have been told I need to add a voltage stabiliser. I have one as seen below but have no idea how to wire it up. Can anybody help please?

Cheers,

Scott

Wombat, on this forum has manufactured a replacement, that is a lot more reliable. Try PM him.

Go to your local electorincs store and buy one. Less than $5.00. probably more like a $1.00 :)

You won't find a 10 volt regulator in any of your local electronic stores. My original batches I imported but I found a local wholesaler who will sell me 10 at a time - dearer than the imported but more convenient than buying 100 at a time. Also if you use a straight regulator without some stabilizing componentry the voltage will wander with the input and load.

I sell the electronic version for $20 including postage
