I had not thought of that - if you can locate a positive ground
regulator I suppose that would work - but the regulator must match the
alternator's field configuration (i.e. does the field lead get grounded
or switched to supply voltage for regulation). My point was that the
procedure is more complicated than switching the diodes.

Aren't there externally regulated alternators available?
