More alternator questions

[krminyl@...]

Mike,

No, I didn't splice it....it wanted to, because it would have been a lot
easier, but I think I did it right. I used heavy gauge wire (used for welding
cables), crimped and soldered on new lugs, drilled a new hole in the bulkhead
with a new smooth metal grommet, and fed the new cable into the compartment
where the battery chargers/shunts/etc are. I also made sure that the new
cable was securely mounted along it path from the alternator to the compartment
with stainless steel insulated clamps. Anyone should be a little paranoid
when dealing with this high amp current...it's the thing that can cause things
to burn up!!. The cable was a little difficult to manage, but I'm sure it was
worth the hassle.
