Reply to "Overcharging Issue: Toasted Voltage Regulator?"

DeTomaso gets some criticism on parts of his designs, but no one said much when Porsche installed the 914's battery on top of the fuel injection brain-box!
Nevertheless, for safety's sake I recommend either dropping the Pantera's battery below the front-trunk floor ala the post-Ford factory Panteras, or dropping the front brake line (that runs behind the battery in its stock position) below the floor. That line connects the two front calipers together and is only protected from battery corrosion by a loose piece of shrink-tubing, usually torn or missing entirely.
