Another question from galfredus I'm afraid...
I know from my Austin Seven experience that there are many answers to this question. My ac comes with a 3 brush dynamo and a Lucas r106 regulator (or postwar replacement for an old cutout). I'm pondering three options. Either revert to a prewar single bobbin cutout for max authenticity. Or do a proper two brush conversion, either with a better mechanical regulator With compensated voltage control. Or put some electronics in. I am undecided which way to jump and would appreciate any experience.
