Hi Joel and Fellow MG nuts,
I received these instructions from Dan Masters of Alcoa TN. It was a
very somple installation. Took three tries making a nice looking bracket
and adjusting fixture, but the installation is complete and everything
works. The wiring is REALLY EASY.Dan's instructions follow
<Wiring instructions couldn't be simpler. On the side of the unit, you
will find two recessed terminals, and on the back, there is one large
screw terminal. The plug you get will have two wires coming from it, and
will only fit in the slot one way. Just connect the brown/yellow wire
(the small one) that now goes to your alternator to the plug wire that
goes to terminal 1, and connect the wire from the plug terminal 2 to
the screw terminal on the back. The large brown wire also goes to this
screw terminal. That's all there is to it.>
Just ask for the 63 amp alternator at any auto parts store. I bought
mine at Advance and it was $26. Good luck!
