Gidday,

I have attempted to read this with interest as my project develops closer to the time when I might need to know this stuff, and it seems like some of you know an awful lot. So, does anyone have any wise sage solutions for a newbie, whether it is best to start with what I've already got, strapped to my boxed, zero timed 914, or whether since it is already way out of warranty, replace the rectifier now, and if so with what? I can justify buying another rectifier if it would help in my current stage, construction I.e. No need for dedicated cooling ducting, or minimisation etc. 

thanks for any dumbed down ideas.

I plan to use the Ducatti..possibly with helper diodes...but defer to those

that have more time in the seat and have piped air to it...

In the 914 installation: I mounted the Ducati in the intake plenum on the passenger footwell. Should stay pretty cool in there! So far so good at 560 hours...

Tony,

Consider mounting your regulator in the intake plenum on the passenger footwell. Cool air, and attached to aluminum sheet for additional heat sink. How's that for dumbed down!

The best test of any solution IMHO is if it works and has history.

For the number of hours of usage being achieved 560, over 1000, etc...if

that is typical of an installation that supplys plenty of air to the

regulator, then that seems quite good.
