Wow!
impressive turnaround. Called CDRC on Monday and talked to Tim about a bulb
which had failed mechanically. Returned the bulb that day at 16:45, new bulb
arrived 08:30 on Friday. Thanks for great service and great products.

Tom Springett Thank you for the 12v ULTIMATE LED headlamp bulbs for my car, sent a few months ago.
The car went for its mot and I told the tester that it
had your led bulbs fitted. He said that if they were correctly adjusted and had a
sharp cut-off then they were all right. Both were fine and it passed its mot. The tester said that aftermarket HID's would never pass as
none had the required cutoff that he was aware of. Incidentally, the headlights work really well and I left
them on for two hours (no warning lights buzzer on the car, of course) and the
car started straight away.
One again, thanks for this excellent product.

I
just installed the 6 volt LED headlights I purchased from you with a H4
socket. The difference is amazing. Thank you, thank you, thank you. I can
actually see where I am going now. This car has been in my family since 1957
and our biggest problem has always been the headlights were so dim it was
almost impossible to drive at night. That problem is now solved thanks to
you.

Dear Peter, I have been running your regulator conversion with my C40 Dynamo for
over 2 years with no issues. I recent upgraded all instrument and side, stop
/ tail lamps to LED. The battery always has a good reserve for the ignition,
fan and main beams. I have been so happy with the results, as the car has
never suffered any battery/starting issues since the conversion. I will be
buying the H4 bulbs in the near future, as these are now available as a
direct replacement.

Hi Tim, Just
fitted the Ultimate H4s with adapter rings to my that does not have a dipping function. Regardless, the
difference between these and old H4s is stunning. Beautifully made too.
Continued success to you.
Peter, A brief note to thank you very much
for converting the two regulators I sent you. They arrived safely here this
afternoon. They were beautifully packed and looked great when I opened
one to see how it turned out. I am now in midst of the Vintage
Sports Car Club's series of hill climbs and sprints and have to judge the
best time to replace the 'jury rig' I have in the car at the
moment with one of the two regulators you have built up for me. Please thank everyone
involved. I am very pleased with what you have all done. Andrew Cheyne
I
have installed my 12v ULTIMATE H4 LEDs and they are so much better than the SMD lights I
replaced. Your LEDs are much brighter and have very crispy focused beams.
Much safer for night driving. I’m quite pleased with your product. By
the way, I’m impressed with how quickly they arrived (less than a week).

was at my wits end when the original 9 post RF95/2 electro-mechanical
regulator, some 71 years old finally quit. Peter at CDRC Ltd came to my rescue
with the solid state ADR95. The clear instructions were followed and the
result was as per expectations. At 1300 RPM there is a steady charge of 3-4
amps. With all the lights on, RPM at 1300, there is a 2-3 amp charge. Thank you Peter for a great product.

Peter, Many
thanks for your prompt response. Lamps
received yesterday and now fitted to my 1932 Morris Minor. BRILLIANT
in more than one way!
Nathaneal Light Good
morning, the shipment arrived safe and sound as you likely know by now. Bulb
installed as expected and night was turned to day inside my garage. Haven't had
a chance to see how this works on an after-dark ride of course, and it likely
won't happen soon as our temps are below freezing once it gets dark. But I can
tell you already I'm rather excited about this - 14w instead of 55 or 60 will
enable me to use my heated gear and stay warm! Thanks for the excellent
service!
Stephen Moore Landrover Series I I just wanted to say thank you for your endless patience
with the ST51 light boards - and share that they are fitted and are fantastic. I’ve raved about them and about your service to everyone
I know! Thank you.
Great product - great service.

I’m delighted with my new 6 volt positive earth

charging problems straight away. Good product. Great clear and easy to follow
fitting instructions too!
David Rushton Bentley 3 Litre Thank you for the fantastic job you have done on the dynamo
and controller.
After spending Saturday fitting and checking the wiring (at least three times)
it works fine and adapts to load as it should. Yesterday I drove the car for
about 50 miles with the lights on and the battery was unaffected still able to
start the car.

Robin Laughlin I have had so many comments about my Flashicators, every single one of them favourable. Even the 83 year old
gentleman that MOT tested my car on Friday was amazed by them.
Positive message. I ordered
the T10's plus a couple of bits but the T10's weren't in the pack. Your
colleagues were helpful on the phone and sent the T10's. However, I only
fitted them this week though and they're great. Bet they won't blow like filament
one I had fitted in the meantime. Thanks for your usual good customer
service.

I recently purchased a complete set led bulbs for my 1936
Buick series 80 Phaeton and 1936 Mullins Red Cap Trailer for a 16 day 1800 mile journey around the South
Island of New Zealand with 46 other vintage cars
There was a little night driving and a couple of
days of pretty bad weather. The LEDs were great and it created lots of comments
from the others on the Rally. In fact I drove permanently with the lights on. 8
cars came from America. Nearly all of the owners had never heard of LEDs
fitting cars without making considerable changes. Your LED's were a hit.

What a pleasant change in this day & age, I
spoke directly to Peter & was left feeling very confident indeed. He dealt
with me in a polite & reassuring manner & what's more, the bulbs that
he supplied were 'spot on'. I wanted to change ALL the dashboard lights on my

I am writing to you to let you know that I have received the

Martin Littlejohn 1955 Citroen Light Fifteen Hello Peter, I
purchased your 5th generation H4 headlamp led bulbs to replace the sealed beam
units in my 1955 Citroen light fifteen and am very impressed with the results. The
car has standard 12v electrics (car built in UK at Slough) so Lucas dynamo and
sealed beam lights meant night time driving was not very illuminating and would
result in flat battery too. All
the lights have now been converted to Led including dashboard instruments and
the superb flashing semaphore led purchased from you at Sywell. The
last items were the 5th generation led headlamp bulbs. The sealed beam were
replaced with a Wipac 7" conversion set. The
beam pattern is superb with a well defined cut off on dip beam and a full
spread of light on main beam. The distance these led's illuminate the roadway
ahead is superb giving me great confidence in night time driving as every part
of the road is illuminated and no more flat battery! In fact the standard dynamo
copes with the vastly reduced load and is still charging the battery on
tickover with main beam lights. Highly
recommend these 5th generation to anyone with H4 fitting lights. Regards
Martin

I
have your 12v dynamo conversion with electronic regulator. It IS a bit expensive, but is
utterly fantastic. The car starts like a Japanese motorbike, and the battery
is never working hard. I just bought BPF LED headlamps. In bright sunlight
they are still dazzling, and dramatically reduce the load, yet more, on the
electrical system. I will add other LED's for the signal and tail lights,
because my little car needs to be very visible in todays traffic.

Hi Peter Just wanted to let you know the Flashicators arrived yesterday afternoon and I fitted them earlier today.
And WHAT A F@*#ING DIFFERENCE!! … they worked perfectly and are so much
brighter than the original incandescents … and of course they flash. A couple of my mates with early Bugs
thought I was an idiot for paying that much for replacement bulbs, but hell,
they’re worth the money!! Those guys are going to be so jealous
once they see these little puppies in action.
Thanks again mate,
Joe
Martyn Seay Auckland, New Zealand Just to let you know the two LED bulbs for the tail
lights arrived safely and work really well in my 2 bikes, a ’54 Triumph Terrier
and ’27 Indian chief. By using these it reduces the load on the alternator and
dynamo by an amp which makes the difference between charging the battery or
not, and gives a brighter light for daytime which is when I use the bikes.

Hello Peter,
A follow up on my issue - today I installed a s/h 2 brush dynamo borrowed from
a friend, and charging was fine. So the fault is clearly with my dynamo which,
although new, is not working. Your instructions were a great help!
Many thanks for your support even for a fault for which you had no
responsibility, much appreciated!
Kind regards

out and everything worked as you described and has impressed all the
neighbours. I cannot wait to get all the lights connected and then out on the
road. The only 'issue' was that I didn't realise the whole steering column
moved so have had to use a static switch mounted via the back of the
dashboard so still no visible alterations. Thanks again for all your help,
you have made the Humber usable and safe without any obviously unsightly
alterations....just brilliant. Kindest regards Matt

I have to say that I am
very pleased with the LED alternatives you supply and are so much better for my
everyday use on rural roads. The reduction in current drain in winter is an
advantage, also. I am familiar with LED lamps in the course of my business as I
specify them for buildings, however, they they need to be selected with
knowledge as the light source is so different from other lamps. In the case of
the products you sell the result is exactly right.

Having
been a convert to LED lighting for old vehicles with marginal charging
systems for several years now,I am emailing to tell you how impressed I am with
your new H4 replacement dipping headlamp bulbs. Last weekend I rode in the
Edinburgh Trial,involving 6 hours of night riding, some observed sections in
the dark, queuing etc etc. In all this the battery voltage remained above
13v, so thanks to Joe Lucas and the CD&RC solid state voltage regulator, my Lipo battery
has been a good move. In use the clearly defined cut off of the dipped beam
and its wide spread of light was as good if not better than an H4,and on main
beam the clarity and range given adds security for night travel. All this for
less than 2 amps on 12v, very successful, £50 well spent.

LEDs plus indicators all round and dash and interior lights – and what a
difference – even though my previous filament bulbs, reflectors and inside and
out of the lenses were already clean. I thoroughly recommend them, thank you.
Details below – Combined stop/tail lamp bulbs – so much brighter, great for
road safety and leaving on for parking with their much lower power consumption.
Flashing indicator bulbs – again so much brighter, I already had an electronic
flasher unit fitted and with my unit the flashing was just about within the
maximum 120 flashes per minute MOT rate. For cars fitted with hazard lights
again the lower power consumption would be very useful. Instrument bulbs – much
brighter but not as I thought before fitting that they might be too bright, the
design of the light reflection in the instruments in my car meant I’d like the
light better spread over the instrument faces but this is not the fault of the
LED bulbs. Festoon bulbs – fitted for interior and boot lights, again much
brighter and a better spread of light. Map light – I fitted a number plate
light to the passenger’s side of the dash that previously had 5w filament bulb
which I changed to the 5w White - 12 LED - BI-POLARITY bulb and that made a
massive difference, it was a tight fit so the 9 LED bulb as stated “For use in
sidelights and tail lamps or where space is limited” would have been a better
fit but I reasoned that as the LED bulbs don’t get hot I’d risk the bulb
touching the cover.

Just fitted the new double dippers! Amazing
light output and fills the road with light. A bit unnerving not to see the
ammeter in heavy discharge though!!

I
have just received delivery of a pair of your Double Dipper headlamp bulbs. For the first time I
can drive my car in darkness and see the road ahead without draining the
battery. The 8" L140 headlamps gave a dismal output with normal filament
bulbs. Even on full beam the current drawn by the LED units is less than two
amps and my car actually charges its battery with the headlamps switched on.
A wonderful result and I cant thank you enough. I shall be recommending you
to all my fellow car club members

I wanted to let you know that the replacement LED lamps
for the Stop and Winker light (as well as the side lights) has made a big
difference; I can confidently stop in a line of traffic and have my foot on the
brake and have the winkers going knowing that all appropriate lamps are working
and of course offering clear signals to following traffic. Previously applying
the foot brake (lighting the stop lamps) resulted in the winkers failing to
light and the stop lamps fading. I feel much safer driving now.

I
am so glad I didn't have a 12 volt conversion done. The new complete set of LED
bulbs have been a Godsend and we feel a lot safer at night having bright rear
lamps and flashers built into the porkpie lamps.Thank you Peter for your
product and excellent advice.Heres to more people seeing the light!

Just to say I got my 6 volt 'Flashicator' bulbs
today and fitted.... I originally did not like the idea of non authentic
flashing, BUT..... these are a no-brainer.... Absolutely BRILLIANT product.
Thank you.

Dear
Peter,
This is just to say "Thank you" for the quick delivery of the 6v headlamp
bulbs. I have fitted and tested them and must congratulate you on a superb
product. They produce a better focus than the filament bulbs ever did and the
dip is crisp and well differentiated from main beam.

Lighting
has always been an issue on classic/vintage cars, it is something I have been
keen to improve over the years on vehicles I prepare, I have used various
halogen,Xenon and HID upgrades with varying results in light output and
quality but still with the main enemy of high loads on the electrical
circuit. I have been following the LED market with great interest, up until
recently, quality of product/suitability and output has been an issue. Until
now! Peter has obviously put a lot of time, effort , money and passion into
his products, I have converted a 1936 Alta to total LED with fantastic
results in light output and minimal amp draw (I left the lights on for 24hrs
and was still able to start the car easily!) I have followed the development
of the new 'Double Dippers', pestering Peter over the months but he
rightfully would not release them until he was happy. They were worth the
wait, a very high quality item, fitted and used first time on the Mille
Miglia 2015, lights on for the whole 4 days, a fantastic spread of light on
dip beam, comparable to modern vehicles with upgraded halogen/Xenon bulbs.
Add to this the relatively low cost for such a product and reliability plus
minimal consumption.Why use anything else? I won't be from now on.

Neil Scully - Pre war Riley
Double Dippers.
Some
thoughts following last nights drive.
1) No bulb however good will improve yellowed and tarnished
reflectors. I fitted re silvered reflectors.
2) Spend time to make sure the lamp is correctly focused
3)Make sure that the earths to the headlamp are sound
4)Setting the lights against a wall is far from ideal, the
only way to get it right is a dark night and an empty road. My final setting is
higher on the wall than I would have anticipated but does not seem to cause
dazzle problems to on coming drivers.
So now to the results. I ended up moving the beams slightly
once I got out of the village but following that I have to say they are very
impressive throwing a good spread of light. So how do they compare? well not as
good as my SAAB 9-5 with xenon discharge bulbs but then that is not a reasonable
comparison, so I would say that they are on a par with the lights on my Porsche
which is running high wattage halogens. Certainly for a post vintage car they are as good as I have ever seen.
I would now feel confident using the car for long distances at night. Of course
the other great advantage is the low current draw giving the dynamo a much
easier life, in the past 10 years I have got through three dynamo rebuilds,
even running a 8a regulator. It is nice to see the ammeter sitting with a
positive charge and all the lights on and even better not to see the 10a drain
whilst stationary. With the car fully LED equipped it draws around 3 to 4 Amps.
It is interesting to note that the single biggest current draw is now the
trafficator solenoids!
Brian Pollock - Morgan 3 Wheelers
Double Dippers
Hi
Peter, the
two sets of APF LED bulbs arrived today. I installed them in my Lucas LB130
replica headlights on two of my Morgan Super Sports three wheelers. The
increase in lighting on the 6 volt Morgan three wheeler was astonishing,
and on the other 12 volt Morgan trike, there was a noticeable improvement. The
ammeter read 1 amp on low beam, 1.5 amps on high beam. That was down from over
10 amps with regular bulbs!!!
Simon Johnston - MG J2
Double Dippers
Just a note to say that I had
the J2 out briefly the other evening in the dark and the LED headlights are
seriously impressive. I didn't get a chance to focus them properly, nor adjust
the beams, but even so the light they give is fantastic.
Peter Haldane - Vintage Sunbeam
Have finally got my new regulator wired in correctly. On starting, the charge lamp promptly went out and the
ammeter showed an initial healthy 15 amps, falling as the charge brought the
battery up.This all seems very good and with my refurbished dynamo and
LED headlamps and indicators I shall have no qualms going out at night and
maintaining a healthy electrical system. Going to the Sunbeam national
rally in York last year was something of a nervous process. Going to
Norwich this year will be a much more confident expedition.
Thank you very much for your help.
Simon Rigge - 1951 Alvis TA21
Dear Peter, Finally, I got to test drive my car yesterday
and see your LEDs working. I was very pleased. The sidelights, rear lights and
stop lights are all really bright, much brighter than before, which is good in
present-day traffic.
Ian Walker - 1923 Sunbeam 14hp
Whereas I enjoy the fantastic light from my
newly installed headlamp LEDs, I have been deprived of the pleasure of watching
any significant movement of my ammeter needle. As it is the consumption of the rear filament lights now far exceeds
the heads!
Todd Ressler - Jaguar XK120 FHC
Hi
Peter. Just
did the install in my XK120 FHC. PRIMO!!! I will be sending you my XK120 Roadster regulator in the next few days. Same conversion needed. Super
job. You are a craftsman!
Peter B - Bedford (1937 BSA Empire Star) - "My pre war BSA fitted with your your 2 brush conversion and electronic reg and the improvement is massive. It's a low revving bike and now charges at much lower engine speeds. I'd highly recommend you to all"
Mark M - Northants (1955 Royal Enfield Bullet) - (after ordering a 2nd electronic regulator) - " A quick note to say I've had your electronic reg conversion fitted to my 1955 Enfield Bullet for 5 or more years now Peter. Charging is greatly improved along with brighter lights. A must have for any vehicle with a dynamo. Thanks!"
Danny M - Linc's (1953 BSA C11) - "My BSA C11 has really benefited from your electronic upgrade. I wanted to keep the bike looking original. You never know it's there. My BSA has reliable electrics at last! Thank you".
Mr. James - Australia - (1931 Austin Seven) "Good to see the ammeter in my Austin Seven on zero instead of showing a discharge with the lights on."
Ian B - Dorset - (Alvis TD21) "The Alvis charges perfectly now. What a neat and tidy conversion."
Jason - Cheshire - (1953 Ford Popular) ....."a quick and easy job that has really improved my little Ford."
Bill - Bucks - (Pre war MG PA) ....."the PA has always been a fun car to drive but it's electrics have let it down on more than one occasion. Good to know it'll always start now and to see a charge on the ammeter. What a great idea your "fuse blown indicator" is too."
Peter M - Australia - 1929 Austin Seven Chummy) "I have fitted your solid state regulator to my 1929 Austin 7 Chummy and converted it's CAV dynamo as you told me to for 12 volt use. It works very well indeed, providing a voltage of 13.5 at the battery, at a charge rate of about 3 amps. After using the starter, the charge rate went up to about 7-8 amps and a voltage of 12.9. All seems very excellent indeed! A good product, worth its weight in dingo doo." (An Australian unit of perceived value!) Peter
Richard W- Australia - (Alvis TD21) "It arrived today. It looks wonderful from the outside and a very neat conversion on the inside. Once I'd fitted it, I took the car out for a nice run in the sun (autumn here), a nice 25 degree day. As I drove through the hills I put on all the lights including the fog lights. The car uses standard original globes (bulbs). AND? It all worked perfectly with the ammeter sitting just a little in the positive. In the past it would stay negative all the time."
Chris J - London - (1946 Chevrolet) "Thanks for the fast turn around, I was very impressed. Thanks also for your emails and information on the conversion, your help was greatly apprieciated as im not the greatest auto electician!!"
Derek C - (Alvis TD21) To date the ignition light does all the right things, the ammeter is in balance with everything on and the battery needs hardly any top up from the smart charger which is always on when the car is not running. So far, so good. It is certainly a very neat conversion and has saved me the hassle of changing to an alternator, replacing a dynamo with a power steering pump stuck on the back end of it! Negative earth has its benefits, the Garmin Navigator will work!
Bernard G - (1934 Austin Ten) "I can only praise you for what is a very good conversion. Neat, tidy and such an improvement to the charging over my original 3 brush system."
Gary L - (1934 Ford Eight Model Y) "I wouldn't have believed the improvement that your dynamo conversion has made if I had not seen it with my own eyes. Thank you also for a swift service".
Roger B - (1968 Ford Escort MkI Rally car) "No problems to date and a steady ammeter at all times".
Mr. Bradford - (1927 Morris Isis) "I have owned my Morris for 43 years. Up until now I've always carried a spare charged battery and jump leads where ever we go as with the headlights on it discharged by 2 to 3 amps. Now however its steady or charging by an amp or so. I will happily recommend you to others".
Glenn M - (1933 Austin Twelve) "Wonderful to see the ammeter swinging to the right after all these years!!!!!!!!!! Car now has MOT thanks to you. Great to see it charging for once."
Paul L - (Jaguar XK140) " All is working well. Thank you again for your help. I will keep you in mind for the future as I have some friends with old cars. I did the trip to France and every thing went OK we did a night run and the regulator kept it going superbly".
George D - (1934 Vauxhall ASX 14hp) "Thank you for your extremely helpful advice and prompt service in converting my dynamo and cutout"
Kenneth C - (1938 Austin Big Seven) "Your conversion is neat and unseen and works very well. Thank you for all your advice and the most detailed instruction sheet".
John L - (1930 Austin Heavy 12) "The conversion has turned a beautiful old car into a beautiful reliable old car. The battery is always full these days. Will gladly recommend you to others"
Neville C - (1934 Morris 10) "After 2 weeks of use it does everything you said it would. The ammeter shows a charge and the lights are brighter".
David M - (1938 Austin 10) "My battery light goes out almost straight away and the ammeter swings to a healthy charge. Thanks for your advice too. My Wolseley 14hp will be next for your magic touch".
Brian G - (1958 Morris Minor) " I never knew there was such a conversion until I came across your website. I now feel happy to drive the car after dark".
Susan F - (1947 Morris 8 Series E) "Thanks you for your detailed and helpful advice. Thank you also for making a good classic car even better".
Bill W - (1934 Vauxhall A type) "Hearty thanks to you for curing the only problem we had with the Vauxhall. I will spread the word to other enthusiasts".
Vaughan M - (1936 Riley Merlin 12/4) "I fitted my modified regulator and I cant believe the difference its made. The improvement in the headlights is fantastic, now I wont be too concerned when I take the car out at night".
Dick W - (1925 Alvis 12/50) "I have now installed your regulator conversion along with the dynamo which you converted from 3 to 2 brush. I am delighted with the new set up. The installation was easy with your clear instructions and took no time at all. When the engine was started the dynamo went into instant charge at just over 8 amps on my ammeter (possibly not very accurate) with the charge rate dropping after running when the battery was up to full charge. It performed just as it should. With the lights on the dynamo counters the load with the ammeter at around zero. Thank you very much for your help".
Bill C - Dear Peter, The converted RB340 regulator has now been fitted and appears to be working well on my first short drive. If it continues this way, you will have gained a satisfied customer.
Dave P - (pre war Wolseley Hornet) Hi Peter, Just like to report that we have done a reasonable mileage with the dynamo and controller that you provided earlier this year and I'm very pleased with the results. As you said, it's 'fit and forget'! The charge on the ammeter settles to just positive after a mile or so and remains there even with the headlights and cooling fan on.
Peter C - (1930 Cadillac) What a great job you have done on my Cadillac voltage regulator conversion. I am so impressed that the conversion from 6 volt to 12 volt could be so simple, effective and invisible! The charging system runs really well, thanks very much and I will send you more work from my collection. Kind Regards Peter
John L - (1934 Austin Seven) "Your very discreet conversions have made our lovely old car even better. 6v candles are now 12v bright headlights!"
Alan D - (1936 Morris 8 S1) "Having roadtested the car during the day and at night I am pleased to say that your conversion has performed faultlessly. The ammeter shows zero or a slight charge with the lights on."
David C - (1937 Morris 8) " I could never have believed the improvement that an electronic regulator has made. Steady charging at all times and with full control too. Thank you for your great service and back up".
John D - (1952 BSA B31) "Totally transformed what was otherwise a good bike".
Alan G - (1954 Riley) " After 4 weeks of use your conversion has proved to be very worthwhile. We are very impressed".
Ray M - (1930 Raleigh 500cc)
"Very pleased with help given, work carried out to my dynamo and the supply and set up of the modern regulator. This has cured my long time charging problem"
Dennis S - (1937 Commer Bus)
"I really can't believe the difference your dynamo and regulator conversion has made. Charging is now perfect as can be. It does exactly what you said it would do!"
David W - (1938 AJS Twin port)
"Great improvement to the electrics - fitting instrutions easy to follow and good advice with wiring problems on bike many thanks".
Peter B - (MG PA)
"Peter helped us with logistics and also helped fix a non opearting dynamo. The MG now runs well with a good charge even under load. Thanks Peter for your help".
Pete C - (1938 Austin Seven Ruby)
"Thanks for your work to provide the new regulator linked to my new dynamo. I can now take the car out without having to worry about the battery needing to be recharged every 20 miles!"
Chris M - (1935 Riley Imp)
"After fitting your 3 to 2 brush converted dynamo along with the converted regulator I got an immediate healthy 8 amp charge showing on the ammeter. With full electrical load applied the dynamo is easily matching demand at just 1300rpm with a steady charge showing above that speed. The fact that you can email or phone Peter and get a near instant reply or friendly advice is invaluable too.
I wouldn't hesitate in recommending these conversions,
they are excellent."

Answers to all my questions, before and after purchasing have been clear, helpful, and never patronising, despite some basic ones! This has certainly given me the confidence to proceed with this job, a very valuable service".

|
"The regulator that you converted for us really works fine. As I told you the voltage at 2.7 Amps comes up to 14.0. Now we noticed that the voltage comes up to 14.1 at no load. It is a great success and the Dolphin reversing and series parallelling relays for cranking do no harm in any way. The temperature of the dynastart itself stays cooler than in the past."

Rolf P (Sweden) - Pre war Riley Special
| Hallo Peter, today I have tested the converted dynamo and regulator. Everything is function perfect Thank you
Nigel W - Jaguar 340 Hi Peter, Fitted your neatly converted RB340 and saw an immediate improvement.
Ammeter settles on just positive, even with all ancillaries on and at 900 rpm
idle. No more boiled battery or burned out generator for me! I have seen the
light and that goes for my improved headlight beam strength as well. Cheers
Toddy O - 1966 Triumph TR4A "The car is now going great and shows a
consistant charge on the amp meter. I have given out some of your business
cards to friends".
John P - 1934 Austin 10/4 "Your conversions do exactly what you say they will. My car now charges perfectly at all revs with the lights on or off. I can see why you are always so busy! Definitely worth the wait though. I will be recommending you to others. Thanks again."
Adrian L - 1949 Ford Pilot
"At last perfect charging! I didn't think a 6v car could ever charge as well as it does now. The headlights are brighter with your halogen bulbs fitted and the back lights can be seen from much farther away. Thanks for all your help"
David A - 1934 Austin Seven
"Just to report that I've now fitted the dynamo and cut out that you converted for us and charging is perfect. In fact I've never seen the ammeter behave so well. Your services are highly recommended to all" David
Roger C - 1937 Morris Ten
This
simple and easy to install conversion has transformed the performance, and
reliability of my 75 year old electrics. The added bonus came in the
excellent and friendly service that I received from Peter. Many thanks, Roger
C.
Toddy O - 1966 TR4A I have completed several classic car runs around the Emerald
Isle here in my TR4A and the regulator is doing the job fine. It has
been well and truly tested over our so called summer. I was with my
electrical man some days ago and he checked it with his own meter and said
it was giving out a good normal rate of charge. I have
also passed out your business cards to others and mentioned your Web
site".
Neville - 1932 Aston Martin "Excellent. I fitted the converted dynamo and regulator and all is well with a good charge for the first time in years".
Andrew J Webb - 1956 Jaguar Mk7 "Brilliant service, brilliant products. Brings
the electrical system up to modern requirements without sacrificing
originality. A classic enthusiastic company."
Trevor B - 1929 Huppmobile (Australia)

Peter,
Thanks for such a great job on the dynamo and cut-out. Your instructions are
so very clear and now I can venture forth knowing I'm not going to be let
down by poor lighting and lack of charge.
Lou Smith - 1956 Landrover SWB

I have been driving my Land Rover for over
twenty years with original type of Lucas Dynamo/ Regulator combo and have
suffered countless battery, dynamo and regulator failures, often all three in
quick succession. I have spent hundreds of pounds and a fair amount of knuckle
skin replacing these components over the years Many would have carried out an
alternator conversion long ago, but I stubbornly resisted for the sake of
originality, Finally I discovered that Peter could offer the best of both
worlds with his cunning and ingenious solid state electronic regulator
conversion combined with a re-built and tested Dynamo, offering the look of the
original equipment, but with much more reliable and accurate dynamo output
regulation, with the added security of fused overload protection and no more
sticking and burnt-out contacts. I dropped in to visit Peter in person and
deliver the faulty components. It was nice to meet him and he quickly made me
feel confident in his ability to provide a quality solution to my woes. It took
a very reasonable two weeks to receive my rebuilt items. Fitted them today in
the freezing cold street, with the sacrifice of a bit more knuckle skin. I was
soon greatly warmed however by the sight of the red light extinguishing at a
fraction over tickover and a healthy ammeter reading, rapidly stabilizing and
falling as the battery took back its charge. Early days yet, but am looking
forward to being able to forget about charging worries and headlight
brightness.
Neil Sharpe - Daimler Lanchester Owners Club "Hi Peter, Well, I finally got round to fitting
the "converted" RB310 to the Daimler. It does everything you said.
The charging starts at lower revs, the flashers don't stop when you put on the
brake lights at tick over and the headlamps are noticeably brighter". "I didn't actually believe your conversion could make such
a vast difference!! It's like having an alternator!!"
Nigel Stennett - Cox - MZ 250 Motorcycle
Dear Peter, I've just fitted your basic 9-led bulbs to my MZ 250 indicators.
The improvement is absolutely astonishing and I'm delighted! Previously the
flashers barely worked when the engine was either off or idling, and
disappeared altogether if anything else was on, e.g. lights in those
circumstances, but now they work perfectly at all times and are as bright
as regular 12v ones.
Mat H - Yamaha RD200DX motorcycle âAfter contacting many people to try and solve my Yamaha RD200DX charging problem I found Peters website. Peter spent his time where others could not help. Over emails we brainstormed to solve my charging problem. Peter came up with a rewiring plan and sent out the new solid state electronic regulator. I fitted it with his easy to follow instructions and now the bike is charging properly. Thanks Peter for your expert advice and great service."

Overhauled
dynamo and electronic regulator conversion working beautifully - steady charge
indication - no more wildly fluctuating ammeter and with the LED rear lamp no
more worries about blown stop/tail bulbs. Total satisfaction, many thanks.
|
|
Simon Johnston - MG J2
Well, as promised, here's my feedback on these LED tail lights. To my mind they are an excellent conversion for our cars. The lights are bright without being dazzling and seem to me to do everything one could expect of them. I also have LED side lights at the front and now when I switch on the the side and tail lights the ammeter simply doesn't even flicker.
Another bonus from my point of view is that the ST38 lights that I have had very crude bulb holders and it was very hard to get a reliable connection with the bulbs so that I frequently found I had no light on one side or the other. This kit does away with that problem and also eliminates the other problem I had which was that the 21w brake light bulb was very hard to find as it was a small globe bulb and that is not a size held by one's local motor factors.
So all in all, very pleased and I'd recommend it to anyone.
Clive Dalton - 1932 Lagonda Rapier
It is a real treat
driving along and not having to worry about the system voltage or the charge
rate. It's magic turning things on and seeing the charge rate return to zero in
a second or two.
Chris Winter - 1952 Fordson E83W van
Many thanks Peter for your friendly and
professional service. The dynamo overhaul and regulator conversion has resulted
in excellent charging on my 6v system, exactly as promised, and your help with
the various teething troubles I had with the LED bulb polarity issues was
greatly appreciated. It's so good to find a business that's prepared to go out
of their way to help their customers. I'd be very happy to recommend you
wholeheartedly.
Mike Wheadon - 1925 Sunbeam 14/40
Have fitted your 12v 21/5w Amber/White BA15D bulbs to
my front side lights which had been flashing white for turn purposes. The result
is just fantastic. A huge contribution to safety. Can see no reason why anybody
would not want to do this conversion. The other bonus is the massive reduction
in current consumption
John Chapman - Lagonda Rapier
I have replaced the side, panel and stop/tail/flasher bulbs on my
Lagonda Rapier with your LED lights. The difference is remarkable. The Led
lights are much brighter and draw a minuscule current, barely showing on the
ammeter. There is the added bonus in that the sidelights, which double as
indicators, now flash amber. I am delighted with the transformation. I am looking forward to fitting BA15s 50W LEDS
to the headlights as soon as these become available.
Bruce Sandeman-Craik - Alvis 12/50
Have a look at Bruce's blog (diary) http://alvis1250.blogspot.co.uk/
Ron Benson - 1939 MG TB

After
having continual overcharging problems on my pre-war MG with 3 brush dynamo
and after trying various solutions, the result was a burnt out armature. As
CDRC seemed confidant of doing a good job on the dynamo, I decided to have
the full system converted to electronic, including converting the dynamo to
two brush. Having waited till I had given the MG a good run to send feedback I can only say after a miserable run down the A1 from N. Yorks to Stamford in
pouring rain with headlights and wipers on most of the way the dynamo and regulator conversion performed brilliantly. The ammeter was constant all the time. I
can safely say money well spent on a first class upgrade. Also the front LED
sidelight/indicators are another very good upgrade.
Ken Challans - 1929 Standard Nine Teignmouth
Peter, just a few words to let
you know the difference since your new experimental bulbs were put into the headlights in my
Standard Nine Teignmouth I would say that the headlights are almost twice as bright now. They do not dazzle and the
biggest and best feature is the safe feeling it gives you when driving at
night, the bulbs are only the 36 watt option so it beggars belief how much more the 50 watt ones give! I shan't mention the amps they use
because they don't seem to use any!
