Morning & a happy new year to all. Can someone direct me to the location of the voltage regulator that both the temp & fuel gauge use on a Series V Rapier? Having made the decision to sort out the inaccurate reading of both I thought I'd start with replacing the regulator as this seems to be the most likely culprit. I have followed the wires from both gauges but they disappear into the covered loom never seeming to reappear. The wiring diagram doesn't seem to assist with actual location either. There are what look like regulators in the engine bay either side of the bulk head but having methodically removed wires to see if either of these affect the gauges I don't think they are anything to do with it. There doesn't seem to be anything hiding behind the dash either. Help!

Thanks.

Found it! It should have been attached to the rear of the dash but had been removed, wrapped in black tape & then hidden up in the inner bulk head. Now replaced with a modern solid state version & all works wonderfully.
