Hi Eugene. You might consider this:

Ok it is a replacement for the MCR2 box but as you can see the two boxes are identical inside but have the connection terminals in a different order for just a few quid, it seems this would be worthwhile. As far as I know these are made in India and are still the mechanical solenoid type but best to check. Can't see what else is different between the two. Not a big gamble IMHO.

Thanks Les,

But I am going for looks on this one, I have a great electronic box from Hawker :

but want to hide it in the original box. I had a mcr2 but the mounting hole centers are different than the rb.107 & the mcr2 has a brass cover painted black & the rb.107 has a aluminum cover. Both boxes use a different method to hold the cover on as well (mcr2 uses a steel wire bail). Ideally I would like a non working unit that has acosmeticallygood cover, but I can repair a cover thats dented or scratched.

Good news! After months of searching, I found a RB 107 box on ebay this morning:

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/LUCAS-NOS-RB107-37191-voltage-regulator-GENUINE-/230620110681?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item35b2079f59#ht_500wt_922

It set me back£34.99 for a buy it now , plus£10 to ship from the UK to the USA.

Probably a bit steep for something no one will ever see,

but how often do you see a new old stock 1950's Lucas item for sale at all?

Its a mental defect called Nortonitis !

Thanks to all for looking for one for me !
