Trials and tribulations of a "shade tree" mechanic diagnosing and ultimately solving the charging system issues on my 1961 Renault Dauphine. Car has a 12V system.
I'm kind of surprised at the Delco regulator and German generator. Most of them came with Ducellier or Paris Rhone equipment. I wonder if a previous owner swapped it out because of availability?
Good work so far! I am currently getting my '62 Dauphine project car that I had bought a while back (and have at a friend's house) shipped to me. I also bought it off of eBait but fortunately it was represented (and priced) fairly. I am interested in seeing what other people have done with their cars. Not too many of us Daupineophiles out there!

Thank you for your comment...hopefully in the forthcoming weeks I shall carve out time to resume working on the Dauphine.
