Your picture from a couple of posts back does show the Lucas regulator (4TR) and there should be a couple of relays in the system as well. One of the relays controls the power to the regulator so that it stops generating when the ignition is turned off and the engine is still turning, and the other relay is to trigger the charging light on/off. Just so you know what they do, if anything starts playing up.

Great that you managed to rebuild it and see how you go. And great that you have gone the leisure battery route. I think it just saves worrying if you do use power.
