Do one thing, after you start your engine; Disconnect the battery while the engine is running, this is to test to see your alternator is good; if the engine is shut off then your alternator is bad. Seems like you have some kind of contact between your - and + terminal on your radio or lighting; I would check all the wiring to see if they're cracked or touching each other somewhere. I would go harbor freight to get a volt meter to trace it.

I checked the engine earths and they were all good and clean, I retightened the main lead and everything looks ok. I fitted a new external regulator and this enabled the lights to work and also the radio at the same time, I exchanged the alternator again as the voltage only read 10 volts with the new regulator and the other new alternator only reads 10 volts as well, so still having problems, presumably if the alternator fuse was blown I would recieve no charge but also where is it located ?
What should be the RPM of the alternator when charging at 14 amperes
