Buly,
I initially used a couple of the generic Ford
units. They’re less than $10/ea. at Auto Zone. Later I found a
brand that is adjustable, although more costly. I installed two of the
adjustable regulators in the cabin where the batteries are located. They
are about half the size of the generic Ford units. I’ll give you
one of the Ford units if you want it.

Buly,
Wow, you’re really going to put me on the spot here.
I’m assuming you have the small 55amp ND alternator. Yes?
What we’ll need to do the conversion is a small piece of
1/8” phenolic sheet. A soldering iron (I’m sure Tracy
has one of these). A 12” length of 20 gauge tefzel wire, two ring
terminals, terminal crimper, wire stripper, a piece of shrink tubing and a small
grommet. We’ll also need a few metric screws, nuts &
washers. Sorry but I’m not sure of sizes though. Surgery
takes about 30 minutes. I’ve attached a picture for homework.
Note the brown piece of phenolic. This bridges the gap left by removing
the internal regulator. Also, the lead coming out of the brush block is
the field lead to the external regulator. The short white wire completes
the field circuit to ground.
Thanks,
Mark
Mark,
you did not say which external regulator is going in?
