Having trouble wiring my lucas alternator to charge through a rally cut off switch. it has three terminals 2 threaded, one towards the centre and one at the edge, and 1 spade connector can anyone tell me which is the charging post and what are the other 2 for, it is not running any electrics besides bare essentials to run engine, no lights etc.

Is there any lettering near the connections - I can't make any out?

hi chris the only lettering i can make out is a 0 or zero between the top connector with the nut on and the spade connectot, there is a dash or - next to the lower threaded connector but not sure if it is just a floor in plastic or not cheers

Ah, well in that case I'm not sure!

I would go for the larger one being the BAT+

Hopefully somebody else will recognise the pic for the Charge light.
