I took out the new regulator noticed that one of the brushes hasn't really worn down any whereas the other is clearly rubbing on the slip rings. The slip rings look ok but you can only see part of them because of the space and it's getting dark now.. The volts going to over 14 after initially fitting the regulator confuses me.
