You are welcome. This should be fairly simple. Just remember, if the
primary
wire to the alternator fastens with a nut to a thread stud, DO NOT over
tighten
this nut. I would estimate 10 - 15 ft/lbs. This connection is usually
made
directly to a diode.

duly noted. don't have a torque wrench, but will only tighten until just
before I hear that distinctive 'crunch'

You can use a star washer behind the terminal. It snugs up swell,
without much torque.
