Ebay R1 reg/rect

Post by kev64 »

Been reading the R/R mod, as mine is the small smooth type i decided i will do this mod (amongst other stuff) over the winter
I seen some very cheap chinese R/Rs to fit R1/R6 (as recommended in the write up) the price was 10 quid or so
I suppose your gonna tell me not to touch these with a barge pole !!
any body bought one?

Avoid Chinese copies not any better than your current unfinned self-cooking one - You need to be looking at FH (mosfet) marked R/R.

It may be that your whole purpose in life is simply to serve as a warning to others.
