I just bought my first VW. Its a 1961 split kombi van. So, I am new to this forum and have a question.
It has a alternator fitted to the 1200 engine, but is not hooked up too the the regulator. Can i just hook it up, or do i need a new regulator?? I am very lost and need some help please.
thanks,
Sam.

if its just a bosch after market one which is more than likely they have internal regulators if its not then it wouldnt be charging at all
who ever did the conversion was just too lazy to remove the old reg id say

Yes it is a bosch one. So it has an internal regulator. Thanks for your help Joel.

the factory ones were bosch too but the way to tell is if it only has 2 connections on top (one big B+ and small warning light 61 connection) then its iternally regulated
the external reg'd ones have 3 terminals on a round connection block and an earth conection near the fan
in this pic u can just see in top right corner the round three prong connecter
