Hi,

I still used the "full" bridge configuration.  The two diode 
configuration gives only half the voltage but maybe twice the 
current.  I need all that voltage I can get!!.

I am just using 8 x 1N5408 diodes per leg.  32 of them only cost a 
little over $5 ;-))  Like MMCs, just drill some holes in an 
insulating board to mount them.
