Re: 12FOOTER, about that rectifier . . . .
I already bought an old one from Bob shapton for a few bucks while I was ordering some decals from him. I've ordered a couple of slim-packaged bridge rectifiers that should sandwich nicely between the plates of an old silicon-iron-disk unit. These thin ones are rated at 20 amps 50 volts PIV, which is still plenty, since being an alternator from an older motor will put out far less than 20 amps. <br /> The radio Shack 25-amp rectifier works nicely but not too authentic looking.<br /> Perhaps you'd better go ahead and hold onto your old rectifier, since you might be interested in having a rectifier that looks old-style but is modern electronically, and I will send you instructions and information about the one that I'm making. There is no question about it working electrically, just making it look as good as possible.<br />Or if you like, you could send me your rectifier anyway and I could make two and send you one?
