| Subject: | Mounting External Plane Power Voltage Regulator |
I'd like to hear from other builders please regarding the mounting of their external
Plane a Power (or similar) voltage regulator.
I was thinking of mounting my external voltage regulator in the sub panel behind
the main panel.
My only concern is accessibility to the regulator in the mounted position, without
having to be a contortionist to gain access to the sub panel once all is completed.
I'd be interested to hear from anyone (and see pictures) who has devised a 'drop
down' mounting panel which can provide easy access.
Your thoughts would be greatly appreciated please.
Warm regards

I put the voltage regulator for my backup alternator behind the sub panel. I
ran out of room to mount it on the main panel. I've had to get behind the sub
panel for other reasons several times. Once you take the stick out, it isn't
too bad getting back there.

> Brake Fluid Out Top Of Reservoir
Sean,
I don=92t think you ever got an answer as to brake fluid level in Master
Cylinder. The cylinder does need to have room for expansion of the
fluid as it heats up on braking and so about 3/4 is a good working
level for me in past RV=92s. I put a mark on the outside of the
cylinder about 3/4 of the way up from the bottom. Take the cap off.
Put a finger on the mark on the outside and look in the cylinder
matching the fluid level with your finger on the outside. Of course,
use a flashlight if needed. If it is too high, syphon a bit out of the
M/C with a small hose.
That said, I also agree that you should bleed the system (both sides)
again to make sure you have removed all air from the lines. I like to
screw a fitting (something like ACS part # AN840-4D -$4.45) into the
M/C top. Then push on several feet of some tight fitting clear tubing
so you can see what comes out. Put the other end of the tubing into a
container, then go back down to the calipers and bleed away. Remember
we are trying to force the fluid into the calipers through the lines and
up into the master cylinder. If you are using Vans stock brake lines
you can at least see if there is air in the transfer tubes, so carefully
check these. Hope that helps=85..

I wouldn't mount it on the sub-panel just for the reasons you gave. And
there's accessibility problems in case you have to troubleshoot a
charging issue. I'd mount it on the firewall or on a bracket near the
alternator.
However, I'm curious why you want to mount the regulator inside the
cabin instead of on the engine side of the firewall.

I'm just curious as to why you are using an alternator with an external
regular? As we know this charging system design went out in the mid 60s on
cars and for good reason. The Plane Power alternator like Van's sells has
an internal regulator. I have several years using this alternator on two
RVs and they have been trouble free.

Thanks guys. I'll lower the level a bit in the reservoir and see how it

I've used the bottom up bleeding method recommended and the brakes were
good. No soft spots noticed on a few taxi runs.

Where did those recommendations come from???
I've never seen a voltage regulator installed inside the cabin on
certified A/C nor all the homebuilts I've ever looked at. I seriously
doubt that the cabin-side recommendations came from Plane Power.

Thank you Bob! I'm a better educated consumer. ;-)
I've seen temps inside the cabin (closed up, of course) higher than the
engine compartment a few times but that's not a great statistical sample.
For that very reason I would not buy the B&C, but wouldn't know about
that suggestion until I had already purchased it. :-(
The Plane Power regulator doesn't have that particular suggestion ......
I checked.

Lancair actually mounts them on the engine side of the firewall from the
factory for those that chose quick build firewall stuff. Here's also a
comment from Bob Nuckolls on the subject:
"
*EVERY manufacturer would like to have you place THEIR product in the most
benign environment possible. But the bottom line is that short of bolting
the LR3 to an engine or exhaust part, it will be fine on the forward side
of the firewall also."*

Where did those recommendations come from???
I've never seen a voltage regulator installed inside the cabin on certified A/C
nor all the homebuilts I've ever looked at. I seriously doubt that the cabin-side
recommendations came from Plane Power.

Mine is mounted on the left sidewall just forward of the door.
Been there since 2006 and works just fine there.
Hid it behind one of Abbey's side panels. Easy to get to if needed.
