Heat sink compound

[Randy]

OK, so after reading this thread I got that most HSC are insulators 
except the stuff that contains silver, Where do you get this stuff?, 
So on the CS-130 alternators the neg side of the diode pack is 
mounted to the case with HSC and has no screws to ground it. The 
screws are all insulated.  On my last rebuild I used T & B"copper 
kote" on the ends where the positive bolt goes thru it and on the 
other end where I added an 8-32 nut and bolt to hold it tight and 
ground it. the middle I put standard HSC.  Maybe the silver stuff 
should be used on the whole thing?    Looked like a major flaw in 
the design to me, as I have fixed about four of these all with dead 
neg side diodes.
