Generators / Alternators / Regulators

[Ramblingman]

My Rambler was originally fitted with a generator but at some point this has been changed to a Lucas alternator. I am trying to tidy up the wiring and realised that I don’t think I need the regulators with an alternator (damn I’m sharp) so could therefore remove them.
Attached (hopefully) is a drawing I have done (good eh?!) based on the electrical diagram in the manual of how the appropriate wiring should have been from the factory. At the moment I have 2 cables from the alternator which I assume are the power (thicker cable) and the charge light (thinner cable).
Before I start removing the loom tape etc. what I want to know is (assuming I am correct so far!):
· the manual says that the charge light gets it’s earth via the regulator so does the cable need to earthed between the alternator and the light?
· I have 2 regulators but the manual does not mention this – why would there be 2?
· does the power cable from the alternator go to the B connection on the starter solenoid?
· the horn relay is powered via the regulator – why would this be and can I change this so it gets a direct supply from the positive terminal of the battery
· according to the drawing the regulator has 4 connections but mine only has 3

Your diagram does not show a wire going from the ignition switch to the charge lamp. it earths through the armature terminal on the regulator.
Here's what I'd do.

Discard the regulators.
Connect the wire that comes from the charge lamp to the small terminal on the alternator.
Connect the big terminal on the alternator to the battery terminal or the bat terminal on the starter solenoid. Connect the horn relay to either terminal as above.

Mart.

thanks for that - I shall remove some loom tape and see what's been done so far but your suggestion sounds nice and simple - just the way I like it:)
