Echlin VR-57 Voltage Regulator - apparently no longer available

FYI - I was out trying to get new electrical parts and NAPA no longer shows the VR-57 V.Reg. I double checked site(s) and store. Everything crossing on Remy Inc. for Delco 1118278 shows obsolete.
There's a Chinese knock off Delco ACE and the Standard Motor Products VR-1 and maybe others apparently available.
Any more OEM cross listings/sources would be valuable long term.
I bought a NOS Delco unit that crosses from ebay as prophilactic measure until I can check if mine works or not but not 100% sure if it's correct.
NAPA has the HR-100 horn relay, SL-134 stop switch, and DS-102 dimmer still available - unless I bought the last ones.
