Removed my alternator to have a look at the voltage regulator.Found this. As you can see, the brushes have been worn down. Spec is supposed to be minimum of 5mm, mine measures at 4mm. Hope the new regulator will solve the problem.<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/67846156@N05/7461483038/" target="_blank"><img src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8165/7461483038_777d9fa994_c.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></a>Will be removing my headers to fix a leak, changing my current KW V2 setup to some new AST's. So much work to come....</blockquote>
