	Radio Shack has (or, at least *had*) small adjustable voltage
regulators that can do the job just fine.  I built my own circuit for a
few bucks when I converted my '63 Beetle.  You can also buy those
"adjust-a- drop" units from all of the big VW parts places.  I've never
used one of these, but they seem to be quite readily available.
