Voltage stabiliser
My car has the complete instrument panel from a mk4 cortina. Does anyone know if it is possible to access the voltage stabiliser and if so what
voltage should it be giving.

I would guess 10 Volts as most of the smiths range run on that.
I replace them with a 7810 chip.

I wonder whether wiring in a replacement external voltage stabiliser would be an option, e.g. Lucas one for Smiths gauges:
