What do you guys use for a rectifier/regulator for 12v d/c power? Not looking for anything fancy, just something that works.

Go to your local elecronic store and ask for a bridge diode.It will convert your AC volts too DC.That is what i use.

I found these:http://www.radioshack.com/search/index.jsp?kwCatId=&kw=bridge rectifier&origkw=bridge rectifier.

Now, which one do I use, and how do I wire it? Thanks.

I use the bolt on ones because they have the spade terminals and you dont have to soilder them.Look at the smaller ones you found at radio shack,the sine wave is the ac and the plus and minus sign are the dc supply.The large bolt on ones are marked ac-ac for the AC in and +,- for the DC output.

Could you give me the part number, and location, of the one that you use? Is a voltage regulator necessary, or just the rectifier?

Your sled already has a regulator, so just the rectifier is all you need.
