Let's pretty up things back by the starter. All new terminals here but the main power feed is hidden by the battery cable. It has 2-10 gauge feeds soldered and shrink tubed into a copper eyelet, better than OE.
The voltage regulator bolts here but I won't bolt one onto paint so let's buff the metal clean.
Here's the wiring prettied up on the regulator. Lots of splices here as the wiring was toast from heat and age, and every splice is soldered and shrink tubed. I installed a 40amp MaxiFuse to protect the 10ga hot feed going to the dash. If the ignition switch comes loose, or the headlight switch comes loose and shorts on sheetmetal, or the fusebox comes loose, this will stop the bus from burning. That's a rubber covered reusable ty-wrap holding the fuse.
I installed a newer reman German 12v generator, cleaned the commutator, installed new brushes and polarized it. I installed a good German 12v choke coil and ran it on the bench to make sure everything is good.
Here's the new coil feed and oil sender wire, I used correct color and gauge, soldered, shrink tubed, and loomed. Most guys would think this was OEG. I put heat shrink on the terminal end in case something touches it, as it's hot and unfused.
Here's the wiring done by the generator, looking like OE.
The upper engine bolts gave me a fight because they turned trying to loosen the nuts, getting a vicegrip on the starter bolt is not fun. I welded some spikes to them so they won't turn anymore.
It's done and everything is good except the weather. I wonder how long before the roads dry up?
