I have been sorting a few issues with the charging on my BJ8 and the RB340 voltage regulator.

To adjust the regulator you have to rotate one of the three dials at the top. The manual suggests using a special adjustment tool that I assume was in every BMC mechanics tool box back in the 60s but I can't find one anywhere.
Any ideas on where I could source one or maybe an alternative?
 
Try Rogers Motors, he has a lot of unusual NOS stuff
 
No tool required all you need is a straight blade screwdriver of the right width . Use it like a small lever on the edge of the wheel you want to turn against the back of the regulator they turn easily .
