[FC] Rampy electrics:- update

[J R Read]

It has been my experience that the internally regulated alternators don't 
last as long as the externally regulated ones.  As they say, Your Mileage 
May Vary.

I don't know for certain, but attribute this phenomenon to higher temps in 
the engine compartment than in a water pumper.  Yes, I have an internal 
regulated one in the rampy and carry a spare alternator behind the seat - 
just in case.
