Default voltage regulator relocation

For those who have done the voltage regulator relocation to under the
instrument panel what heat transfer compound did you use if any?

If you use a heat sink paste then use the same one that goes on the spark plugs. That was what it was originally designed for. Electronic heatsink.

Default Refer to 46-23

Dirt-

You need to locate Section 46 Page 23 of the plans .... it has the drawing that shows where the mounting holes are located to install the regulator are on the bottom of the instrument panel.

Happy Building
