I have just decided to try a solid state regulator (BN7). The last two
regulators I have installed over a 25 year period came from Moss but I don't
know where they were made.
I have spoken to some other owners and done a lot of on line research.
There are at least 3 or 4 different solid state regulators currently being
advertised. It fits inside the original Lucas regulator box and the parts
are manufactured in England. The older I get the more I am searching for
reliability as long as it doesn't change the look and feel of my Healey.
Good luck with your search.

Subject: [Healeys] Voltage regulator query
About two years ago I replaced the original voltage regulator on my BT7.
The replacement, made in India, worked okay, but recently I have had to
burnish the contacts on the main coil in order to get it to provide a
charge.
I have been thinking about refurbishing the rugged original Lucas
regulator. Its resistor is fine and the coils do not look overheated or
discolored.
Are there any suggestions about finding a rugged voltage regulator these
days?
