Thanks Graham If only you had posted your message earlier, I have sorted myself out with a new unit which is now fitted. I am just up the road in Silloth, can you do spares as my old unit works fine it just has a damage plastic end cover. Gordon

After searching through a manual provided by Jonathan I found the following on connecting the loom terminals to the alternator: Two Thick Brown Wires With Large Spade terminals and one Brown/Black cable with small spade terminal Does not matter which way round the large spades are connected to the alternator. The Brown/Black is connected +B Terminal on the alternator. All as shown in picture #10

Both, #5 and # 10 (Stephen)

Thanks to all. Now sorted

Thanks

Thanks Ian I assume this was a direct replacement, how long ago was it fitted. Gordon

Thanks Stephen Like you said,bit far. I will give them a call so see if they can supply end cover.^

Before buying a new Lucas Unit from Burton Power does anyone have a spare alternator following an upgrade they with to move on, or a plastic end cap from a defunt unit. Thanks

Thanks Johathan do you know the colour codes of the 3 wires? Stephen looking Left to Right on your what colors are we looking at, am I correct in assuming the left cable is a lower amp rating then the other two?

Thanks I will try and get in close to check out wires and colors. Are most of the 94 era alternators Lucas.

A long story but I have damaged my alternator end cap and cannot sort out the connections? Are these simple spade push connectors or are they contained in a single plug in connector. I probably need to replace the end cap in full, are these available as a separate part or do I need to replace the complete unit. Awkward spot but can anyone supply a picture of the connections. Thanks

Hello Graham Not fitted yet, but I am sure all will be well. (Topped up with small amount of fluid and plugged outlets to keep seals moist.

One more for the pot

Robert Thanks for your kind offer.PM sent Gordon

Ian a refurbishment could be option for consideration at a later stage, the good thing is that a retro refit for originality would be a simple task. I will checkout Car Builder.
