Folks-
RE: Painting frames ...
If complete originality isn't a prime concern, I'd look into having the
thing powder coated. It's _much_ tougher than paint, can be applied
inside almost-closed areas, and results in a very nice-looking finish.
RE: Alternators, regulators, relays ...
I think I'd be _real_ tempted to chuck the whole setup and replace the
alternator with a Bosch unit. The usual model has two wires (12 v out,
ground), is self-regulating, lasts a _long_ time, and the only replacable
part (brush/regulator assembly) is a $25 stocking item at K-mart, Pep Boys,
etc. Frankly, I don't understand why there is any other kind.
