   Hi guys just bought a new alternator and it has a different wiring type, see pictures.
   
   Old one, plug in type
   
   
   
   New one without plug,
   
   
   
   
   So i plug the main cable with the round ring into the biggest nut with B+ on then if I cut the plug off which one does the cable plug into on the new one?
   
   Thanks

   No ideally you'll need to put the ring connector on the D that's got the plastic cut-out section(designed to have wire connected to it)
