Hi all,

Realised I am missing some alternator wiring between it and the starter.

What do you have?

Cheers

From the alternator it's one fat red wire that goes to the starter motor (same as battery feed to it), then also there's a thin blue wire which is the battery light. Usually a bullet connector for it half way along the bottom of the front pannel.

Is that it? My 1.1 wire with the plug thing on the end had more than one fat wire plus the thin blue one I'm sure!

Thanks, Will sort something out!
