Last May there was some discussion about voltage stabilizers. Apparently
TRF and others were selling solid state stabilizers in two variations. One
was a 4.5v device and the other was 10v. Somebody had documentation that
10v was correct for most Triumphs. I am not sure what the application was
for the lower voltage device. Derek Evans in Australia recommended using
an LM317 and a couple of resistors to make a stabilizer that fit in the
stock stabilizer housing. I tried it on both my 73 spit and 70 GT6 and now
when my gas gauge says "E", I better be pulling in the gas station. I have
not noticed any change in accuracy since it has turned cold with the onset
of winter. I still have the diagrams (GIF files) that Derek sent me if
anyone is interested.
