To be fair the CE rectifier has been much more reliable since the change to the chassis mount rather than the engine mount position of the early cars. The HD item is much cheaper if you need a replacement or spare. I would say it is a side of the road job just to thread the long lead up to the battery terminal and use a few cable ties if you need to replace it and then do it properly later on. You do need to fit a larger ring tag on the end of the long cable though.
