Richardtr3a Posted December 1, 2023 Report Share Posted December 1, 2023 I now have a new Regulator and need to confirm the colours of the connections. I have asked this before but the answers have gone AWOL. My first connections are for points A and D. My old loom has brown cables in the loom. What are the correct colours and identification for these two points. Would it be best to solder the cable on to the blade connector or will cramping be long life. Please let me have a clear answer to the colours. Thanks Richard & B Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RobH Posted December 1, 2023 Report Share Posted December 1, 2023 Original: Terminal Wire A1. Brown / Blue A. Brown / White F. Green / Yellow D. Yellow (two wires - one thick one thin ) E . Black The terminal letters are embossed on the RB106 lid. Crimp the connectors but use the proper tool if you can, rather than one of those thin flat-metal things, and avoid the common coloured-plastic crimp connectors. Use the original bare type and fit the proper sleeves to support the wires. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Richardtr3a Posted December 1, 2023 Author Report Share Posted December 1, 2023 Thanks Rob. It is colder in the garage and garden. I will give it a try when the weather warms up. Does one of the yellow wires to terminal D have a trace colour ? I am older now and the garage does not have the same appeal when it is cold and dark, and there is Ice. Back out there soon.

No they are supposedly both plain yellow in the TR3/3A. Later cars had a different colour scheme though...... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

RogerH Posted December 2, 2023 Report Share Posted December 2, 2023 -9C or -4C that is just plain silly and very very cold. I'm cold here in W.London at 4C I hope the greenfly and spiders in the garden are getting a serious chill. Roger Quote Link to post Share on other sites
