WTB: Known working voltage regulator

[AlfaBMWGuy]

I'm looking for an old school white (suppressed) or yellow (non-suppressed) tape wrapped OEM looking known to function properly solid state voltage regulator for my 1974 tii.  I'm experiencing the not uncommon overcharging issue with the ones that Beru is now producing that are cheaply built and fail out of the box.  From my FAQ investigation I know there is a better built VR from NAPA, but I'd prefer to go with something that looks like it belongs under the hood of a 2002 and get a NAPA one as backup.

 

Thanks,

Gary

Pierre helped me out with a VR so I should be good now.  Of course if someone has an old school OEM VR that looks near new, I'd still be interested.

 

Thanks,

I have ones that you can put on a restored car

Still looking 5 months later if someone has a nice looking OEM VR available.  I've got a scruffy OEM one so just looking for one that looks great as well as working properly.

 

Thanks,

Gary

Thanks Andrew.  Are these Hella VR's known to be better quality than the Beru ones that BMW is now calling OEM and are really quite the pieces of junk right out of the box?  The Hella does look identical to the Beru, which both being different (not as tall) as the older OEM VRs.  I'd prefer an older one that had both the correct look and was better made so I'll just keep looking, but keep this in mind as a fallback since it does look more correct than my current NAPA VR.
