Convert to standard 3 phase bridge rectifier and automotive regulator? Anecdotally, based on what I see posted here, those combined reg/recs seem more troublesome?

Yes, it seems many times they're bad right out of the box.

Well I've been out re checking everything this morning. Everything seems to spec except the rotor (which is new). The manual says there should "sound insulation" between the slip rings and the rotor centre. Mine has 3.3 ohm between the inner slip ring and 9.5 ohm between the outer. I have checked the old rotor and there is no continuity. Think I'll fit up the old rotor and see what happens.
