Here's a question:

Normally, a Denso alt has a rectifier that looks like this:

If that goes bad, can it be replaced with an external, post-mounted generic rectifier that looks like this:

???

Assuming that the amperage and volt ratings are the same, of course.

Would that work, or is there some other function built into the Denso rectifier?

Thanks.
