If you were to install an exact replacement pot would there be any reason
to mention it to anyone? Another possibility might be buying someone else's
junked out unit as a source for genuine certified parts.

There are a lot of Cessna 150s flying around with automotive voltage
regulators in them. They just put the cover off the certified one
back on the new one. (No I don't have a 150 or a plane that uses
automotive parts)
