Okay, so I could probably replace them with two stud-mount (is that
right?) diodes, with the cathodes bolted to the heat-sink? Does that
sound right?

That would be my guess, if the central rivet clamps some rear contact to
the aluminum. If there is no electrical contact (including a normal
silicon or Schottky diode drop) between the stab-ons and the panel, then
I am stuck.

Why are you so intent on replacing them?


Wanting to replace them because the output of the charger is only 10.5
volts, not 13.6 or anything near that. It only charges a battery halfway,
and doesn't start a car easily. Trying to fix that.

10.7V, actually. And I just thought of something I want to check again...
