Trouble with replacement (or original) electrics is when they are specc'ed as 'just enough' rather than 'too much'. If a system generates 20 amps, get a 50 amp rectifier and it'll never fail. Get a 20 amp rectifier and if the engine runs at high revs regularly, it'll fail because it's running at high/full capacity all the time. Cost difference is literally pennies.
Over egg the pudding ffs!!!
Think of how stupid the average person is, then realise that half of them are more stupid than that.
