You will find wiring diagrams here http://www.greeves-riders.org.uk/for...iring+diagrams
The Miller switch offered by VMCC (and other outlets is NOT suitable for Greeves again there is a previous tread about this http://www.greeves-riders.org.uk/for...=Miller+switch
There is no voltage regulator in the original circuit, its 'controlled ' by switching in extra lighting coils when head light is on, hence why the VMCC switches are not suitable. You will find details of Lucas switches that will do the job but will need fixings modified.

I believe that Mike is a GRA member - its just that he hasn't yet been upgraded by Rob!

Sorry Mike! - I'm sure it'll be done soon...

The second thread on Switches is in the 'public domain' & also includes a couple of wiring diagrams & covers the problem with switches. I think that will answer most of your questions Mike

The Maplin one AR 82D http://www.maplin.co.uk/p/kbpc10005-...ectifier-ar82d £2.39 these are available from other outlets including eBay. 10amp rating for similar prices, & also Paul Goff but he charges £5.25 for same thing.

Thank you for your help am persuing your recommendations bought maplin rectifier on checking my wiring I have an extra wire "yellow" do I leave it unattached or should it be put to good use?Having been looking at forums you must get fed up with newbys asking the same questions don't stop thank you, it is quite astounding that we all seem to have the same issues. Must say with out this source of information a rebuild project would be a lot harder.Mike

Not sure about the yellow wire best to ignore colours & wire it as per the diagram I have shown with the Maplin rectifier in circuit

FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions)

Reading this and the usual questions about Moorland Blue and a few other subjects prompts me to suggest a FAQ section immediately accessible from our opening page. The experts in their various subjects can either give a brief and succinct answer or use the links to Forum facility to give more details. This will save much of the repetitive questioning from newcomers who fail to navigate the Forum Search facility.
