Righty-ho, so the cab mount rust has been mostly done, new brake hose is sorted and the exhaust is sweet. Got a wof and now this thing is legal as a 16yr old.
Voltage regulator still doesnt want to charge in the mornings, it usually takes about 4km down the road from my house before the charge light goes out. This morning however, it didnt go out not even when i got to work 10km away. By which time the stereo had given up trying to run on 10v and it was missing like a bitch. Cunt of a thing.
Luckily, JohnnyB dropped me another regulator he had lying around. I also had a regulator from my Subaru sitting on my desk and close examination of the wiring discovered i 'could' use the Subaru one but it was going to be a headache. The spare one John dropped off has exactly the same wiring colors and is also from a Toyota - just has a round plug instead of square. So i am now doing some soldering to wham the square plug where i need it and i'll be able to see if this thing will charge properly.
Up until now its only had 12v when running. Will be interesting to see what 14.4v feels like. I anticipate wheelspin erry'whur
