Stator Pigtail?

[LDO]

Ok,
maybe this is a stupid idea but after my VR crapped out on my last weekend and having to troubleshoot my charging system (thanks NT and Ohmster!) I found that it was a little tricky checking my stator output VAC if I was by myself.

Trying to read the meter while keeping the meter leads in the right holes without touching put me a bit outside my comfort zone.

Took the stator connector off my old VR and crimped some alligator clips on the ends and whala!

Great idea LDO, looks like the Marine Corps has done you right. When everything else fails you (adapt, wing it) IMPROVISE :2thumbs:

Can you patent that ? sue anybody who tries to copy or sell it and make millions

Thing is LDO. Now that you have made that you won't ever need one again. I guess that is a good thing though.

That is a great idea LDO, which I would have thought about that a year ago, we were cutting connectors off of recall regulators. We kept the ends but who knows where they ended up.
