Thermal paste

[Ozwynn]

This is the regulator for my replacement Royal Enfield. It needs to be relocated to where it’s in an airstream so I am going to mount it to the bottom of the yoke over the front mud guard.

what I need to know is if I can use thermal paste and a backing plate to cover up the back

Is there supposed to a picture here? I don't see anything.

At any rate, I've never seen a regulator/rectifier that need anything other than a solid and maybe conductive mount.
