Question Alternator Issues on 68 337c

I recently had to have my rear alternator overhauled and discovered that both front and rear alternators are rated at 28v 30 amps. The Cessna service manual says all 68 and later 337s have 60 amp alternators.
Replacing both alternators with 60 amp alternators would be expensive and I suspect that with my more modern avionics I don't need the increased capacity.
The regulators are original but seem to work fine with these alternators with the exception that I've always had occasional "overvoltage " lights which extinguish when I switch to the other alternator.
Any comments?
Thanks
