Has anyone had experience with a solid state voltage regulator for a generator?

I build my own. I made two working prototypes so far.

As soon as I get the current limiting issue solved, I'll be building a few to sell. This started as a project to build voltage regulators for friends on the antique Harley bb, www.hydra-glide.net
but old GM's have the same kind of generator.
The only difference would be the current limit.
The voltage regulators on the old Harley generators had current limiting that kicked in at about ten amps.
I suspect car and truck generators might run higher.
If anybody can tell me the current limit on the GM voltage regulators I'd like to know.

About 35 amps.


They say money can't buy happiness. It can buy old Chevy trucks though. Same thing.
