Certainly an interesting voltage stabiliser that relies on gravity.
I think a solid state one that can supply all your instruments that need 10 volts is a nice idea, but it might be cheaper and quicker to get a new Smith's one. If you buy that RS component you will need to solder it on a piece of 'vero' board and add two bypass capacitors. Then mount it in a small box with some connectors to make it robust for a car environment.
Not impossible but I would just order a Smith's one from Merlin Motor sport.
I was planning to connect it direct - why does it need two bypass capacitors?

There is an interesting article from the MG forum:
