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

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???

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.

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

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

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

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

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,

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
Ricardo

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

Hello,
Will this regulator also work on the later 6V versions with a 180W generator?
Will it be possible to put the later cover on it or will you provide both models (D-shape and later model) ?
Best regards

the 6volt solid state regulator is a reality , it is under trials at my own split now .
i have driven more than 1200 miles in it since last october and electronics works like a champ ....
FYI.
it is completely fool proof , and current / voltage limited , it will not deliver more than 21.7 amps or more than 7.15 volts , whatever the cond of the battery is .
generator output power will always be 130 w , although it could deliver more power for some time
headlights on will make the battery load 6.85 v
my regulator electronics will even allow you to start a car pushing it and with the battery completely dead , although it is not recommended to push a split from the back !!!

Anything new on this project? I've heard 6 volt regulators are no longer available? Is this true? Mine is still working for now but I'm a bit concerned what I will do ultimately when I need to replace it. I want to keep it 6V. I don't mind converting to solid state and would prefer it look original if practical to do so.
