We skipped the plug, and just used individual quick connects. ISTR we got
the big ones (3/8") from Radio Shack, but I couldn't find them on the web
site just now. Here's one source, though:

However, you can buy the plug from Moss, P/N 540-280.
Note that I suggest connecting to both large terminals, especially when
using the Bosch alternator. A single quick-connect (or plug terminal) is
simply not enough to carry the full output of the alternator without getting
hot, and getting hot will eventually lead to failure.
I am also a firm believer in soldering electrical connections, especially
high current ones. So I cut the insulator off, crimped and soldered the
connection, and then used heat shrink tubing to make a new insulator.
