Alternator regulator

Post by baldiebird »

Hi all,
Just returned from a lovely weekend away camping but my red ignition has begun to flicker. I suspect it may be the voltage regulator pack, so I have had a quick look and the brushes do seem to be a little worn!
Tried looking a the WIKI to see where to get a new one but the seller suggested no longer exists on ebay. I have a 1980 Aircooled with a 65amp alternator.
numbers on alternator are;
0120 489 913 -914
K1 14V 65A 21
070 903023B
numbers on regulator are
06.0130507 14V
32mm
I have seen one on VW heritage but I am not sure if this is the correct one?
Any help with where to purchase the correct part would be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks
Gary.

It's a common part. You should be able to get one from Camberley Auto factors, Richmond road. 32mm is the size of the slip rings don't get one for 28mm slip rings they won't fit
Try looking or asking for Lucas UCB400

Run the van around to your nearest Auto-electricians and let him have a gander. Ours flickered in Ireland and not only was it the brushpack but a wire had severed and the battery wasn't charging fully

Thanks for replies, managed to get one online from http://www.jcrsupplies.co.uk" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; (also on ebay) :D
Part number 4640 incase anyone else should need one. Will replace this first to see if it cures the problem.

Interestingly they also do a heavy duty option which maybe of interest to those with multiple leisure batteries and split charge relays:
