uprated altenator - AC DODD?
Turbo Mini Forums

i bought a 65amp, (i think) alternator from Mr. Dodd a year or so ago and it came with an earth cable, i have never had to fit an extra cable to an alternator before..does anyone have any ideas where i need to connect it to? lol i have done a search and cant even find his email adress...

also slightly different, the really small connector on the bottom of the starter solenoid (the bottom most one i think, on the piggyback type) should this actually be connected to anything? i have managed to rewire the whole front end of the car but this bit i cant work out for sure?

thanks. Dan

the earth cable would go between the alt body and the body of the car...

the + cable would go between the alt output and the main battery feed on the solenoid.

iirc the uprated alts that doddy supplied came with a cable that goes from the large threaded terminal on the alts to the solenoid + (ie: its an upgraded output cable... not an earth cable...)

Hi,
That makes more sense to me ( the positive cable) I think I've read that somewhere too.
Cheers,
Gavin :)
