Hi Steve,
Let me tell you what I did about twenty years ago and it is still working fine. I took the diode block out of a GM alternator(junk one,prior to the built in regulator)and cut a section of the block off with a saw.(the section holds one diode) I drilled and tappped two 8/32 holes in the block(the block is a heat sink)and made a small bracket to hold the
block in the cutout housing.I've never experiensed any
problems and it is a cheap fix. Best of luck,Ben Jenkinson
