Electrical WOOPS

I was disconnecting the battery and my wrench fell across both posts! This resulted in shorting out the voltage regulator. I discovered this as the alternator was trying to blow up my battery :) Anyway, replacement was pretty simple. You have to contort yourself a bit to get to the voltage regulator on the rear wall. I took the opportunity to clean up some of the acid residue that the previous owner just left. Rust isn't bad at all. I put the battery in a box just to keep some sense of containment Here are the pics:
