I hadn't even considered the power dissapated by the field coil.  It
should be small compared to the power dissapated by the rest of the
system.  If not, it can be replaced with a ceramic or rare earth
permenent magnet.

I didn't mention it, but my plan is actually to remove the diodes when I
remove the regulater, and bring three or four wires (depending on if I go
with Y or Delta) out and mounting the rectifiers and switching regulater
in a friendlier location.  I would use rectifiers with the appropriate
ratings.
