Hi All. Whilst doing an oil change today I was suprised how hot the Voltage regulater gets whilst the engine is running. I appreciate it obviously gets warm due to its finning and being located in the airflow. But should it be too hot to handle (touch)? Any advice out there?

Thanks for the advice Charley T it has put my mind at ease, off down through France to the Swiss Alps in a couple of months and didn't want me scratching spoilt or any niggling doubts. Can focus now on taunting the Gendarmes!!
