importwarrior Posted March 8, 2014 Report Share Posted March 8, 2014 are you talking about the red ring-spacer? Thanks for the update Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shelby Posted March 9, 2014 Report Share Posted March 9, 2014 the main power terminal on our alt has a strap connector , a nut is used to hold insulator in place , so there will be two 10mm nuts on the alt terminal one for the wire ring and one to hold insulator in place ,, it is very important to NOT alow the terminal to turn as you tighten or loosen the wire nut this can short out the internal connector strap and cause a melt down Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
