BILLS:

The regulator choice is up to you. The original 27.7 was installed over 50 years ago. Battery technology has certainly changed since that was written. Gill and Concorde both recommend much higher charge voltages for their batteries. I will tell you that 1.0v difference is significant. Everything I do gets 14.4/28.8. Nobody considers those to be high voltages. They are the norm throughout all "12/24" applications.

The 8 amp breakers are no longer available. The current 7.5's are the correct replacement. The original breakers have a huge variance in their ratings. That 8 amp breaker may trip between 5-15 amps. I find they work best in the garbage can.

I will be eager to follow your updating process. Below is the start of another project.
