tell me about rectifiers

my niece lisa has an '82 wing with some bad wiring but my actual question is about the rectifier. isthere any difference between rectifiers from '80 to '83? can she use an '80 rectifier on her '82

1100 regulator/rectifiers are all the same.

thanks dan, my friend is working on my nieces '82 and has a rectifier from an '80. I guess the harnesses are different so he wasn't sure if he could use the rectifier

If there is a question, tell him to check the wire colors match up.

Make sure that your friends unit isn't just a rectifier from an 1000 as they were seperate units not a combined regulator/ rectifier like late GWs. If a new component is required try a Mofset style which are far superior imo. :good:

Can you use mosfet on the GL1000?

I stopped by my friends house yesterday and what he is trying to do is use the wire harness from an '80 or '81 on my niece's '82, there are too many burnt up wires to just cut an splice on the '82's wire harness
