Cant Find 2Amp 7812 voltage regulators :(

[kyazh]

I need a 2 amp 7812 voltage regulator. 1.5A is the highest one I can find, any one have any ideas where I can find one????

Assuming you don't want to complicate thing by using external transistor to boost the current capability then National LM338 5 Amps + 2 resistors, TO220 version also available, or better / lower drop version Linear LT1083, again needs only two additional resistors.

Or with one extra transistor and an extra resistor you can make the following schematic:
