Voltage regulator: Standard Motor Products (SMP) VR124. It's electronic and works very well. It will save the alternator blowing out if the regulator fails. They cost around $24. The black wire goes to ground and the other two connect to the leads for the stock regulator. This is a replacement for Bosch units used in early 1970s BMWs, VW bus and a few other German cars. It provides a steady 14.1 volts at the battery. Don't leave home without it! (Ray Costa, Pop's Cycle, Inc.)

Voltage regulator: WELLS VR650 at AutoZone, $29. It's for a 1973 BMW 2002. (Ross Kowalski)

Solid state voltage regulator similar to the one above: Niehoff WA709 for 1974-6 Porsche 911 & 914, 1970-1 Audi 100 or 1972-4 VW 411 & 412. Available at Checkers for $41.

Plugs: NGK BPR5HS



From David Olesen:

"For those who have the original turn indicator light socket with the 12V 10/5 watt bulbs, the 7225 (21/4 watt) European bulb will work fine... after filing off the upper post. It will still stay in with one post as long as the fit is snug. All four bulbs should be the same, so replace them all. It's also nice to have the brighter turn indicator for those blind auto drivers. They can be found on the shelf at Checker for $2.50 and should also be at Autozone, but may need to be a special order."
