It's already been done. I have a solid state voltage stabilizer in my TR4
(made it hard to find, as I was looking for a big monstrous coily thing,
not a little black box with spade lugs!)
These are available from many of the mail-order houses. But I think you
wouldn't have any trouble rigging your own; and I'm pretty sure they're
not too cheap either ($15 for a hunk of silicon and some wire?) so you
should save yourself a bit of money.
