Hi all
New alternator fitted to RV8 in a Stag, do I need a three pin plug for the connectors?
I intend to connect as per image below, does this look right? Or will it end in smoke? (Image borrowed from locostbuilders)

The two big terminals are simply linked together internally - because one of those terminals can't handle the full output of the alternator. So two terminals and two wires are used, both doing the same job. Other makes use a single post with a large ring connector (like a starter motor) and a single heavier wire. But Lucas wanted a plug in type using bits they already had.

Is the one on the Stag loom different?Fed_up_Stag-owner wrote:Thanks for clarifying that Dave
