The voltage regulator is wrong, it should be white.

Yes, he mentions white, grey & black regs. Hes rebuilding a non-Marauder one in vid. If you order parts, you tell them what color reg you need.

I only looked at the parts and I didn’t see an option for regulator choice. Just making sure you’re aware, and you are.

No choice in the immediate, apparently you let them know during the ordering process.

I mostly shared link for the rebuild procedure (& hacks). Parts availability was a bonus.

For those interested, these guys have a rebuild kit for the Marauder, and theirs shows the correct regulator pictured.
