Same here. Got mine from a wrecker out of an old Chevy Sprint. No problems
for 450+ hours. I think it cost me about 30 bucks.

Mike
Excellant as an external regulator allows complete control of the
alternator and the simple additon of overvoltage protection. That is the
preferred way to do it IMO. Many guys use a automotive regulator.
Standard part VR166 for example at about $40. is shown in aeroelectric
Z-23 diagram. I'd personally favour a solid state one since they have
some built in temperature compensation.
Chrylser also used to use a cheap solid state unit through the 1970's.
The VR166 or equivalent is popular however. B&C sell the overvoltage
protector for about $35. which I'd recommend
Ken .

Angus, what did you use for a bracket for the Toyota starter?
I made one for ours, but not happy with it.
Thanks
