FD N3A1 Alternator Regulator/Rectifier

I managed to fry my alternator after some testing i was doing while wiring my PDM. The coil is good; The rectifier appears to be good. I ended up sourcing an aftermarket regulator and rectifier from a local parts store but the voltage output is very low compared to before. I did switch to an upgraded alternator but i want to fix this to keep as a backup.
Does anyone have a source for a regulator/rectifier to rebuild my OEM alternator?
Mitsubishi brand is preferred but a good equivalent would be ok

Thanks

i ended up getting this regulator from ebay
https://www.ebay.com/itm/292223383136

it seems to be the right one. i will install it on my spare alternator in the next few days when i go back home and i will report back whether its a good oem alternative.
