I found that everyone agreed with this so I bought the "voltage regulator bolts" that are insulated and made a gasket to mount my regulator. Here's where I became puzzled. As I was connecting the wiring harness, it had a wire from a sheet metal screw on the base of the regulator to the radiator support. Should I leave this wire unhooked?

The rubber-mounted bolts are just there for shock mounts, to keep vibration damage to a minimum. The regulator simply won't work if it's insulated from the chassis.
