DDK - Die Deutschen Klassiker

I owned HMY3K. A RHD 1972S originally Tangerine (and back to tangerine now; was black when i owned her and even minerva blue in the late 70s !) imported through AFN November 1971. Josh Sadler told me there were 77 RHD S in 72 spec but didn't know how many are left. Mine was chassis ending 0138. I do...

anything i need to do to officially get in etc ?
not been to Stanford before

I'm in

John Matthews 68 coupe

Cheers !

I think I need a new Voltage regulator , but they're not cheap are they ? GSF don't have 'em , Euro I think do , listed as : VOLTAGE REGULATOR 55A MARCHAL £68.53 inc VAT & P&P ( £49.82 without ) Does that sound the right bit / price ? perhaps I should try the scrappy first in case it's not t...

Cleaned out both battery boxes with bicarb of soda ( clearly a special twincarb soda setup ) and I think I identified the regulator - an aluminium box next to the CDI ? Fixed up a new earth etc for it but I'm still charging at 19.5V. Pretty happy really , at least I know what's wrong and that's half...
