I rewired my '68 P1800 last year with a decent second hand loom from a generator car. From memory the two heavy guage brown wires link the starter and the ignition switch. There is no place for them on a modern transistor regulator. Mine are still linked together but isolated from all other wiring and the car body. No problems with starting or risking the car going into meltdown. If you are using an original mechanical regulator there is a nut underneath where these two wires can be located. I may be wrong but I don't think the regulator has any impact upon this part of the system. If I am wrong no doubt others will let us know.

I will have a look under the bonnet tomorrow and confirm.
