Hi folks, I am going to swap out my old MCR2 as it doesn't seen to be behaving itself despite my best efforts.
See photo for what I was going to do.

My question is: is it ok to fit a DVR2 inside the old cover, or does it need a decent cooling air flow ?

Thanks, Bevan

my voltage regulator is fixed to a bracket onto the original mcr2 base and is "hidden" inside it , works just fine and the metalwork of the case provides a decent heatsink i expect .
cheers

hi Ian, my one is fix inside the old regulator box as well, and my regulator is in the toolbox on my NH and if it is very hot weather i take cover off the regulator but i have had NO problems with it getting hot

Hi Bevan,
Sorry I have only just seen this post.
I mounted my DVR2 inside the old case but retained the original base.
I also mounted it upside down compared to your picture.
The bolt on the top provides a strong mounting point as well as a heat sink into the base.
I drilled the appropriate hole in the old base of course.
I wired it up to the normal FADE connections so it all looks standard when buttoned up.
Cheers
Gary
