When you can't find a zener of the right voltage try this circuit:-

    Zener +   -----------------------------
    6-60v          !       !          !
                   !      c \!       POT
                   !   TR1   !------>100K
                   !      e /!        !
                   !      !           !
                   !     ---\         !
                   !     / \          !
                   !     --- 5v       !
                   c\!    !           !
                TR2  !----            !
                   e/!                !
                   !                  !
   Zener -   ---------------------------

The Zener can be 5-10V. Both transistors are NPN. Set the voltage pot sets the
Zener from 1V higher than the zener to many times the zener.
TR2 can omitted in some low current circuits.
