I got the diodes in and they are tiny.
This will make heat sinking them a little more difficult.
They are about the size of a single 555 timer.
I think my best chance is to solder up the 4 wire bridge rectifier which is going to be a mess and encapsulate it.
I have some leftover silicone based solar panel epoxy I could use for this.
The way I figure it each of the 4 wires will have to handle about 35 amps RMS at full power. So each wire that will be soldered into to the alternator windings will be at least 12 gauge.
Which is what I see a lot in vehicle alternator to welding alternator conversions.
