I did the 10SI conversion today pretty much straight forward like it shows here. I used the rectifier instead of the resistor. I cut off the plug for the regulator and added female stay con terminals so my jumpers had the male terminals. On the jumper for the brown wire I just used the rectifier so it is reversible if I got it wrong and serviceable if it fails on the road. I bought the 10/12 SI plug from the store and soldered all the connections. I also used electrical grease and added some to my headlight plugs while I was there.

I found that the regulator was what failed when I pulled the cover so the upgrade was due. Plus I have a lifetime warranty on the new alternator so that is a plus.
