Time to update replacement information for NEW Bosch voltage regulators for 914 relay board:
Bosch Part number:F 026 T02 230 Made in Italy Part fits perfectly like original. Surely someone carrying Bosch parts has access to these. Ordered off Ebay from UK. Approximately $58 each plus stupid shipping($20). So shop around. We do not have to put up with ill fitting crap from China. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif) Attached thumbnail(s)

Good stuff. Thanks for testing out for the community. Hopefully, our 914 vendors can make a bulk order and make the price more reasonable (at least the shipping!).

You can order this same Bosch regulator from Cars245 for $45.40. Shipping to the USA from Latvia for a single unit is $8.69. I've ordered several items from them in the past with no problems. Shipping to California typically took 2 weeks. They are a good source for dual relays as well.

At first, I was sad. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)
I purchased one of the last SS Bosch regs from 914Sixer. At double the cost! Those new ones say "Made in Italy" I have a bunch of Italian car experience. I was one of the LAST "Fiat Factory Certified Technicians" back in 83 when they were getting the hell out of the USA. The "certification" process was a sham like pretty much everything Fiat did. Italian electronics don't give me a warm fuzzy feeling... I AVOID Italian sourced parts if I can. Bosch Italian might be fine. I'd try that before Chinese stuff. I AM happy I bought the NOS German one from Mark! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) |

QUOTE(SirAndy @ Nov 10 2024, 10:40 AM) FIAT = "Fehler in allen Teilen" Yep, heard that quite often when I lived in D at the end of the '80s. Of course, there is the American version: Fix It Again, Tony... My '57 FORD Thunderbird... Floods On Rainy Days. (and it does) But honestly, I think my neighbors to the south the Italians have a bad manufacturing rep that doesn't really represent them. Northern Italy is one of the most important manufacturing hubs of Europe and they generally put out high quality stuff. Think Brembo brakes and Marzocci shocks for starters... I wouldn't worry too much about Bosch regulators made in Italy. Maybe they're being subbed out to Magneti Marelli... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) |

There's a whole bunch of "Fix It Again" phrases.
"Tomorrow" or more correctly "Today" are the first ones that come to mind... Edit: Magneti Marelli is what I fear the most... |
