Mounting solid state reg rec

I reckon there’s enough air flow behind the side panel to keep it cool.
As for the underside, I indent to mount a transistorised ignition under there so it’s occupado :)
Also got a bladed fuse box to make a mount for.
Pimp my battery box!

It is a nice mount! Well done! I am also getting rid of the three glass fuse holder, and have made a new harness for the 4 blade fuse holder I purchased from eBay for $5.90... it is in my state, but not in my possession yet lol. Probably receive it after Christmas. The solenoid that came with my bike doesn't have a bolt-on bracket like yours, mine came with the rubber sleeve with the two slits for mounting on two sheet metal tabs, but for the life of me, I can't figure out where they might be. I still have the 1971 battery box, but I do have a later one like yours, that has the bolt on fuse tabs, and the starter safety switch tabs also, along with the rectifier and regulator tabs. I was thinking of swapping it out, but it has no tabs for the solenoid either. So, I will probably zip tie it somewhere provident.

Yeah I bought a 6 way fuse holder from eBay thinking I could hold a spare of each fuse in there. With the reg rec on there it’s a bit bi so I’ve just ordered a 4 way version.
Easy enough to make a solenoid bracket if you’re not worried about originality.

yeah, I guess I could bend up a 'U' shape at the proper centers for the slits in the rubber holder, and then bolt or weld it to the battery box! I will use the 4th fuse holder as a spare 15 amp fuse holder, it is good for them all then lol...

What's wrong with the fuse box you have in the picture ?. There should be a cover for it and in the cover, is where the spare fuse's are housed.

id be re-wiring it anyway to avoid issues with the original wiring and blade fuse holders are cheap, so why wouldn’t I? It’s hardly much effort
