8v alt and oxs light

[flaatr@yahoo.com (Euroroc II)]

The regulator in most cases is a small wort on the end of the alternator 
case, opposite side of the pulley. There are two small screws that hold it 
in place. When you remove it you are actually removing both the regulator 
and the brushes.

Installation is the opposite. Place the new regulator in the hole and press 
it in place while tightening the screws... the new brushes will be long and 
they are spring loaded so the regulator assembly will not sit flush to the 
alternator without a little help.
