Frank,
If it's like the one I recieved from TRF, there will be two large and one
small spade connectors in the back of the alternator. Both of the large
connectors are connected together inside. If so, just connect the
brown/yellow to the small spade, and each of the brown wires, large and
small, to one of the large spades.
See my post to Marty, Re: TR6 Alternator (or where oh where does the little
brown wire go), for more details.
