Excellent how to, thanks David
I found the removal of the rubber~ mastic sealant over the the two 7mm nut headed brass screws the hardest part
, it's essential this is removed completely or you will not get the 7 mm socket to sit on them square.

And as okenora has pointed out the new regulator comes with a cap shaped sleeve that retains the brushes so that you are able to slip the whole assembly back over the studs, and the slip ring.
Obvious to some ,but not all.
So, for those that don't tackle D.I.Y. jobs often,and as this new assembly looks awfully like the one just removed, after you've got your new regulators 7 mm screws and the two 8mm nuts back on and tightened, remember to pull this retaining collar off so that the brushes make contact with the slip ring !!! then, slide on the new supplied cap, and continue with re assembly.
If you don't, it will not generate power, as the brushes,( retained in the temporary assembly cap ) will not be making contact with the slip ring, and you will have to do all the work again up to the point of removing the black plastic casing, to see the regulator again to remove it.
Snagger.
