That must be for the 1956 and later ovals where the B+ is a stacked tabbed connection.
The Earlier version (after the D regulator but before the one pictured above) is a "screw through a loop" type configuration

Can't you get new ones at a reasonable price out there ?? Unfortunately , for making these i will have to redesign the whole chassis and make new molds
Sorry

OK thanks,
If you ever decide to produce this model please let me know, I am sure there is a market for this item. (All beetles 59 > early 70's).
Best regards,

i don`t think so , i have started this expensive project due to the scarcity of the "D" reg , but i bet nobody will pay aprox $300 for a late regulator when they are still available for $50/100 _________________ in my Garage:

Any fitting within a 6 volt round regulator can seen in early ovals?
Thanks

Nice! I wonder how it will fare with real-world use in various adverse conditions. _________________ -Thom

Thom:
if you are talking about my regulator , let me tell you that it will be water and vibration proof , it`ll be encased in an special , 2 component material that can be removed in the remote event a repair has to be done   _________________ in my Garage:

I'm not sure I understand Matt's question a few posts earlier, so I'll ask: any chance you might produce a solid state , servo controlled 6 volt "ROUND" regulator? There would definitely be a market for those. _________________ Regards, John

i am not so sure about that , i have advertised nos regulators at 100 and nobody got them ...so why a solid state repro would sell??? _________________ in my Garage:

Do you still have NOS Bosch round regulators? a search for round regulators shows they are very limited. I would buy one - or two.
Because of the limitation on availability, more oval owners are looking for them, hence the reason why I would possibly buy 2
Thanks
And thanks vw54john for clearing up my message
Thanks
