Paul,
the car is a '71 Sprite, negative earth, and always has been.
I have just put a new battery on - and yes, I have checked , I did connect
it up the right way round !.
By "hot" side of the battery, you mean not the earthed side - yes ?
So a wire from the +ve terminal to brush against the field coil terminal of
the voltage regulator ?
How do I identify that termial ?  The regulator on my car is fixed to the
bulkhead and has a bakelite type cover with a sort of multiblock connector
of wires underneath.

Guy
