Suggest you have a think about going down the Permanent Magnet Alternator route.

Its an upgrade using more reliable, and potentially more easily available, components.

Ha, you're lucky if they are different colours and you can trace them - when my little yammy was stolen and dumped, the buggers cut right through the wiring loom at the front - when a mate came to sort it out, every wire was brown!  Took him hours of trial and error and some odd results!
