i used to see adjustable regulators on commercial vehicles .. setting were low medium high .. it was set for whatever the vehicles job was . like round town it would be set to high .. long distance set to low .
could you not simply fit an alternator with built in regulator ?
depending on how the battery warning light is wired in simply changing the bulb for higher wattage will reduce alternator output . worth a try i think .
I could spring for a one wire universal alt,, but at this point we're talking about a system that's been successfully used in millions of vehicles for decades,, there has to be a decent working VR available...
OK,,, say its a # 53 bulb in a quarter turn socket,,, what larger wattage would fit? I guess anything from a taillight to headlite could be wired in,,, and then find a place to stuff it.... But,, first I need to find a VR that works, as I tried three new ones and the original, and no joy...
