Would this scheme work for other PM generators? I'm using a 32-amp generator from a Harley-Davidson. The 74518-88 model regulator for these seems to be as plentiful as light bulbs, but I can't find any good details of what the internals look like. It has two wire input from the stator, and one wire out to the battery positive. The case serves as ground. No means of control or way to indicate failure, prompting me to build my own.

I've got no reason to believe that the most
ROBUST of PM rectifier/regulators would not
work with the smallest of PM alternators.

You can control ANY rectifier/regulator with
a relay in one of the AC leads out of the
alternator . . . as depicted in many AEC
drawings. LOW Volts warning is your
primary failure warning. 'Real' low volts
warning is built into B&C regulators . . .
most other 'warnings' are driven by less
than elegant sensing systems (including
the venerable VR166).

I would judge your probability of success
to be high.
