I've read that some folks used to swap their alternators to automotive units:

I'm in the process of tidying up / repairing my Nuovo Falcone's charging system, and wondering if I couldn't do the same? I was holding a little Denso 40a alternator intended for a Volkswagen race car recently and was shocked at its weight - more than 15 pounds less than the unit charging my little NF.
If I understand correctly, an automotive alternator will not require a rectifier or regulator, since these are integrated into the unit? And I could use a 'single wire' alternator to simplify my wiring harness further?
Thanks in advance!
