regulator/rectifier modifying?

the reg/rec fried the battery on the sv a few weeks back, i've had a little browse on ebay, and the only ones for the curvy are £70 plus, but you can buy them for the pointy for £30,

do they have the same number of wires into them and can i just cut and solder the old terminal onto the newer reg/rec? sounds a pain, but £40 is £40, new battery

People retro fit other models on I know the cbr reg recs fit with a bit of wiring modification. They cost £30 ish second hand and are supposedly superior. Need to do it meself soon

like this one, looks really similar, same number of wires, where can i get a wiring diagram tho?

Read this thinking you'd got a flat tyre in the forest and was wondering how you sorted it. Oh well.

I fitted a CBR one which uses mosfets instead of FETs which are better. It also has better charging than OEM. There are a few hints on how to install this on svrider.com I'd also ask Northy here who knows a thing or two. I've also changed the OEM wiring which was way too thin causing current drop. My system is much better now, bonus is better headlight and better ignition.
