Lucas RB108 nut size

[trevinoz]

The original nuts are 3/16" thick so you are good with those lock nuts.
The cover is removed by carefully bending back the turned over tabs around the base, I use a small set of end cutters
Just disconnect the regulator from the terminals and remove screw from the base and you have the regulator off.
mount DVR on the base and solder wires to terminals.
Easy.
I use the RB108 in original form with no issues.

I use pincers, they give you control and open up the folded over flange neatly.

Why not just mount the DVR2 in the tool box, it fits nicely on the RB108 mounting bracket.

That's what I did.  I'm not exposing the inside of my tool box to public view so no one will see it.  No one will see in there unless the bike breaks down (or I do ) at which point all attempts at image management are lost.

I have thought of that!
Looks good!

But I’m fussy and want to keep to the original look with the Lucas RB108 box inside the toolbox 😳
Even eventually going to paint the base and vapor blast the casing

G'day Ant.
I have my DVRII inside the reg box on my plunger. A lot easier to get into than yours but the same inside. It sits in public view but no one would know it's got modern stuff inside.Cheers
