I have discovered I have two slightly different (Lucas) alternators for the 
1978 MGB I'm trying to re-assemble.

Style #1 (that came with the car) has 3 terminals - one large, central spade; 
two smaller spades. Unfortunately, this alternator has a mounting lug broken 
off.

I saw a Lucas alternator on eBay, put in a low bid & won.

Style #2 (from the eBay auction) also has 3 terminals - two large; one small.

The plug on the harness in the car is for style #1. 

Any ideas on interchangeabilty? 

TIA
