I have the article in and old folder. I posted the mag, year and date hoping someone knew which process I was using. I have not found it on the web. It is not the process shown on the "allpar" link posted above. The process I use mounts the regulator IN the can. It is pretty slick really. The heat sink seems a bit overkill in that article and it look messy to me. I like making the can 5V and just slipping it back on the cluster. I have made a number of them in the past but the process would be a lot easier without the resistor. I just don't know what it is supposed to do so I am a bit leary about leaving it out. I have also found that it is hard to get the true 5V out of the regulator with the resistor hooked up. I get around 4.7 volts.
