Help please.  Just about to install a voltage regulator so that my fuel guage and temp gauge doesn't go up and down as I rev the car up.

Question:-  How do I wire it up?  Please see photo.  Supplied by Europa but no instructions.

Is it 12V in and then the regulated 12 V come out the "B" terminal?

Thanks  Mark

Just found out that the B terminal is for a switched live, the others go to the temp and fuel guage.

Sounds right to me mate. Normally +12V to regulator, then regulator to guage, and guage to earth as far as I know.

I called Caerbont in Swansea, They are the people who service and repair Smiths guages.  Wiring is the B terminal to the 12V supply, the other to the guages.
