From your photo it looks like you have a 10-SI alternator. A complete rebuild kit costs around $20 + shipping. Typical kit should contain voltage regulator, diode trio, brush holder with brushes, rectifier, pulley bearing and rear needle bearing. Most of the time over charging is due to a corroded sense wire (S) connection. You could rebuild your alternator (and find why it is over charging) for about $25 and some elbow grease.
