79 RX7 alternator conversion write up?

Is there a write up anywhere on how to remove/bypass the voltage regulator unit?

None that I'm aware of. Most just upgrade their wimpy alternator to a bigger one. I made a How-To in the Archive section that shows how to upgrade to the S5 alternator.

I just did this over the summer, but the car is parked currently. If I get a chance in the next couple days I'll snap some pictures and do a quick-and-dirty writeup.
