the regulator is integrated in the alternator. For the original-gen 900,
this is about the easiest thing to get to. Right in the face of the
alternator, with 2 screws and a black circular plastic front. Likely
reads "Bosch" on it.
Also heed the brush replacement tip, making this job a no-brianer. It's
the brushes that wear out causing problems.
