Re: External diodes...
I assumed that when you said "If you can, keep the diode pack and regulator separate from the alternator due to excessive heat from engine and alternator. Failure is always due to excessive heat >120°C" you were recommending having external diodes.
As I pointed out before, I think the original poster said he had "separate rectifiers" when in fact he meant external regulators. This would make more sense on a Perkins engine from the 70s.
And, yes, I do have a degree in engineering.
