Well mine finally bit the dust, from Leeds to LeMans I thought I was going to have a trouble free ride but the regulator decided it was going out to lunch some where around Alencon.
There was just enough battery voltage to get me right to my pitch on Maison Blanc.
I cannot thank other Morgan owners enough for rallying round to help me out and get it sorted, especially Ted and Harry from Themes Vally MSCC in the next tent.
The nearest Harley dealer was only 1 mile from the circuit, so off we went to see if they had one in.
Apparently after looking the part number up on TM, it transpires it is only fitted to 2001-2006 Soft Tails. Their computer said there was only 1 in France and it was at another dealers across town.
They said if we could get the car to them that day they would collect the part and fit it for me.
So job done and top service from Fabien at Le Mans Harley.
Shame about the 285 euros though.
Still better than a recovery truck and thumbing a lift home.
And two days later, on Sunday, it was my bluebelle with a dead rectifier in Le Mans. Same problem, tomorrow I will pick up my car and hopefully I will find in the mail a new rectifier coming by Express Mail from England (I am so thankful to M. and P.P., they found the last one in England (?) at the fifth dealer. At wednesday I am booked on the ferry to Thrill on the Hill.

So folks, buy this as a sparepart and have it with you all the time
