Hi James,
Sorry - when I said regulator, I should have said stabiliser. It's a small device
fitted somewhere around the back of the speedo. It's some time since I took apart a
Spitfire so I can't remember the exact location. The voltage is stabilised (regulated,
hence my wrong wording) to 10 volts, which is what the fuel and temperature gauges
require.

The 3-rail has an extension housing which contains a number of plastic bushes and
washers. They fall apart as they wear, but a rebuild kit for this is easily available
for around 15.00 pounds.
Cheers,
Bill.
