Topic: voltage regulator pads needed?

  Does the 1939 voltage regulator (51A-10505) need the rubber pads or can is sit right on the firewall?
Thanks!

  51A is NOT a '39 voltage regulator although it will function properly.
Yes, you should install the pads. The rubber pads insulated the regulator from the dash panel a bit while still offering a ground through the internal sleeves.
