    Does anyone know where to get one of these, I notice Rob C [Nuvalori) has some on 246.com but the wording appears different from my original as his reproduction ones seem to be for the FIAT box rather than the MM unit.

    I think somewhere in the history of the decal something has been cut off or removed on installation because its not a FIAT decal?

    Also the sides are zig zag rather than straight.

    Any thoughts on this

    My research points to the factory installed regulators being the FIAT ones for all Dinos and the MM ones were ones that were replaced at some time in the life of the car. Even if the regulator was replaced in the first week of ownership at the dealership only the MM regulators were available to the dealer as the FIAT ones were assembly line supply only. That's the bad news.

    The good news is that the FIAT regulators were fitted to tons of different cars including FIAT 500's that they made millions of. The regulators do vary from car to car but the cover itself is the same. Used FIAT regulators from parted out cars can be had cheap on eBay especially in Europe. A quick sandblast and paint and you're left with a perfect to original regulator cover for which I have the correct decal :)

    Thanks Rob,

    Fortunately I have both MM and Fiat voltage regulators :)

    I don't use the mechanical one in favour of the electronic model which I have hidden behind the old box for looks

    How do I purchase the stickers?

    Rob, I did a search for FIAT 500 voltage regulator and I found a couple different cover styles;
