Ed,
Bare in mind that most semiconductor regulator circuits
(for the instrument regulator) will not survive many load
dumps which occur at the end of a engine start cycle.
I have built automotive regulators in the past, where I
protected the regulator itself with a MOV device, and
an inrush limiting resistor.
You might consider its application as well.

Subject: Sunbeam new product tester needed.
Hi listers- Im working on a device that prevents scratches occurring on our
windshields,
due to the operator forgetting to turn off the wipers before turning off the
ignition.
I am also incorporating a solid-state gauge regulator in the unit.
I would like someone who uses his Series 5 or Tiger very often in bad
weather,
to test the operation and evaluate the short installation procedure. There
is no
cutting of wires or doing anything that cannot be returned to its former
state in
a very few minutes. All ask is a report back to the listers good or bad and
its
yours to keep.
Please contact me directly if you are interested.
