Replacement Alternator from the US

[PeeBee]

There are alternatives to buying regulators. 4-5 years ago I found a youtube clip which included circuit drawings to build a universal type regulator. It is a simple circuit to build. I am pretty sure you could double or triple up on the transistors you should be able to run any rotor out there.

Thanks Muddy. I also run what is called a Quicktifer which has additional rectifiers in it to spread the load and the heat from charging and then the under bonnet heat. I run a unit that is rated at 420amps capacity, they work well but the voltage reg still failed for whatever reason - I mean its a replacement part pretty common on an alternator. Annoying thing it had only done maybe 500klm.
