maxted Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 going from a external to internal regulated alternator, I'm wiring up the new alt and it has 3 terminals R and L on the plug and B+ stud, i found this image on the net just wanted to check it was right. should the b+ have constant power straight from the battery? or just when the ignition is on?

Mof Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 Yes that's right But there should be a fuse/fusable link between batt and b+ 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxted Posted October 14, 2015 Author Share Posted October 14, 2015 sweet cheers man, like a 10 amp fuse do the trick? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spencer Posted October 14, 2015 Share Posted October 14, 2015 No, you need like 40-100amp depending on what the alt is. You can use a modern fuse holder thing instead of a fuseable link which are easy to check/change. Fuseable links are sweet and easy to use also though. It's just a bit of thin gauge wire that is made to burn out at a certain current, but it from the internet or maybe a local shop and solder or crimp in. The alt wire should be a decent gauge you will need a pretty decent crimper to do the terminals. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
