correct
NO, the Regulator is redundant, not required.
Voltage regulator - the big unit bolted to the bulkhead near the steering column. My understanding is this is purely to provide an 'average' 10v to the fuel and ammeter gauges (not sure about temp gauge) - is this correct?
Ammeter now redundant ,
Temp & fuel gauge use a voltage stabiliser (often incorrectly referred to as a regulator) , a small thing behind the dash.
Incorrect - see above.
Given the alternator pumps out up to 14v to keep the battery charged, the voltage regulator is still required for the gauges to operate accurately? - is this correct?
connect them together & insulate.
Ammeter - a measure of current draw?, however voltmeter preferred so can disconnect this and keep on dash to retain original look. What do I do with the two connectors?
You might need to get a new flash can and find a voltage stabiliser for your gauges.
As the wiring is +tive earth, I need to convert to -tive earth due to alternator. No other changes to the wiring required if the ammeter is disconnected? Any thing else I need to know?
