What's the electrical thingy just above the coil in the picture below, is it some form of regulator?

It's a solid state bridge rectifier for turning AC into DC - definitely an 'after market' addition for a single phase alternator.

Love your battery spacer. Looks like one of my "fixes".

Unfortunately I can't take credit for it, I inherited it, cute though isn't it

Snatchpiece,
Wooly's spot on. The metal backet also serves as a heat sink, and probably as an earth path as well. Rated at 20 amps, so will easily handle you alternator output (<= 9Amps)

It replaces one of the old style rectifiers, as seen in attached photo.

If you need some basic knowledge on the Triumph electrics, send me a PM (with your email address) or an email and I'll respond with a document that may help.
