Alternator trouble

Post by princess090967 »

Dear sir, I am restoring my traveller and I decided to put an alternator and so I bought a new wiring loom usable only on Minor alternator equipped. Please, could I know if the alternator wires (brown colour) must be attached to positive or negative size of the battery. Then there are other difference in wiring between alternator and dynamo.

Thanks a lot, Max
