Philip,
It being Monday morning I assume you've fixed the alternator plug. For
future info, if the alternator has a 1-piece moulded plug with 3 wires
(2-large together and 1 small), then it is called a standard European
terminal and is used on most European cars of the '70s to mid '80s. VW
Rabbits needed replacement of the harnesses the most and so these are/were
available as repair parts with fusible link wire attached. Lucas also sold
the take-apart kit for repair and change-over from earlier 5-connector
alternators as part # CYB-400. Most intergrally regulated Bosch alternators
used these plugs.
Hope this helps Cheers Peter
