Upgrade your classic car’s unreliable bi-metal voltage stabiliser with the plugpal 10V Solid State Voltage Stabiliser, engineered specifically for negative earth vehicles.  Designed as a modern, reliable replacement for original contact breaker stabilisers used in 1950s, 60s and 70s vehicles, this unit ensures accurate and stable gauge readings every time.

Perfect for classic models from brands including:

  • MG
  • Triumph
  • Jaguar
  • Lotus
  • Rolls-Royce
  • Daimler
  • Austin
  • Morris
  • Ford

…and many other classic British, European and American vehicles.

 


 

Why Upgrade to a Solid State Voltage Stabiliser?

Original mechanical stabilisers rely on bi-metallic contact breakers that fluctuate with temperature and wear over time. The plugpal solid state stabiliser uses modern semi-conductor technology to deliver:

  • Stable, constant 10V output
  • Accurate fuel and temperature gauge readings
  • Consistent performance regardless of engine revs or electrical load
  • Improved long-term reliability over original mechanical units

Keep your classic gauges working as accurately as possible while preserving originality.

 


 

Designed for Easy Installation

  • Three-wire setup: 12V input (red), 10V output (green), ground (black)
  • Black wire connects to chassis ground via ring terminal
  • Red wire connects to the original ‘B’ terminal feed
  • Green wire connects to the original ‘I’ terminal (10V gauge feed)
  • Supplied with:
    • Male 6.3mm spade terminal on +12V input
    • Female spade terminal on +10V output
    • Adapter lead included if male output connection is required

If you require alternative terminal configurations, custom options may be available on request.
