Delco Remy 1118201 Voltage Regulator on 2040-parts.com

You're bidding on a used original Delco Remy, 1118201 voltage regulator that's been cleaned up, replated and given a fresh coat of black paint on its cover.  The regulator was then connected to a generator and dynamically paced to insure proper output as well as verify its functionality under dynamic load when heated.

You can look up the various applications for this part, but my quickie research indicates it's a factory match for certain 1946-51 Cadillacs, 1940-52 Chevy and truck vehicles, and 1946-51 Pontiacs.  Generically, the '201 regulator is specified for 6V, 35 amp electrical systems.

This unit must be early as by the mid-50 era, Delco was stamping the mounting flange with the full part number, the electrical system thumbnail and the unit date of manufacture.  The close-up shows this regulator is simply embossed "201".  I'm guessing that the lack of additional information places this regulator into the 1940 era.

The closeup of the back side, shows I did NOT polish out the fresh plate.  This is a non-cosmetic surface and you can damage a regulators' resistors if you're not careful.  But, note the physical format of the resistors!  They're paddle shaped wire wound components that differ significantly from the asbestos centered spiral wire winding constuction techniques used in the mid to late 50's...

This part is ready to bolt-on and show.  You'll have to re-use your existing three shock mounting grommets as the ones on this unit were badly weathered.  Bid in confidence as this part comes with no-DOA warranty.

Jetstream SC250 (2008): first pictures

Tue, 26 Aug 2008

By Ben Whitworth First Official Pictures 26 August 2008 09:32 This is the new Jetstream SC250, a Cornwall-based newcomer to Britain’s low-volume sportscar industry – and arguably the most eye-wateringly ugly car we’ve seen in a very long time. The lightweight two-seater is powered by Vauxhall’s turbo 2.0-litre unit – lifted from the Astra VXR – and it’s priced at £29,495. Err, yes – we also feel the SC250’s looks might be a bit of a stumbling block to someone about to flash the best part of £30k on a track-based racer.

Whos Where: David Wilkie joins Mindset

Tue, 30 Sep 2008

Design Director, David Wilkie, announced last week that he is leaving Bertone to take up a full time position at Mindset AG. Mindset is a new company run by Murat Günak, previously head of Design at Volkswagen, that is developing the electric ‘Commuter' car previewed by Car Design News in February this year. Car Design News spoke with Wilkie about the move, who explained that he'd been working for Mindset part time, leading the design of the Commuter interior for several months now, but "I decided that for the good of Bertone, and for Mindset, that I needed to commit full time to one position; and the appeal of having my hands-on as a designer was very strong; and it's a project I really want to see through properly!" Wilkie is still committed to carrying through several projects at Bertone over the next few weeks as he makes the transition to working with Günak with whom he studied at the Royal College of Art.

Ford improves top design on its 2015 Mustang convertible

Mon, 03 Mar 2014

Ford revealed details on its forthcoming 2015 Mustang convertible, whose top features several highly welcome improvements over the outgoing model’s, making it quieter, more compact and easier to operate. Though Ford continues to call the cloth top a two-layer design, it now sports a 10-mm thick cushion between the twill covering and the headliner layer, serving as both insulation and sound deadening. Ford says with the top up, the cabin is almost as quiet as the coupe’s on the road.
