As part of my wet cell battery replacement (five years, sadly neglected when I broke my leg skiing in 2009), I'm going to replace my Blue Circle alternator. I've now had two of them. The first died when I noticed a crack in the housing where the big bolt comes through. The second, which Harv charged me full price for (!) is now chattering when I load it up after a night on the hook. I stop the scary noise by using the Small Engine Mode switch I added a few years ago. http://c34.org/bbs/index.php/topic,4669.0.html
Natch, Leece-Neville and your source in Washington State is where I'll be going (http://c34.org/bbs/index.php/topic,5686.0.html), page 2.
In your conversion article (http://c34.org/bbs/index.php/topic,4879.0.html) I noticed that the "plug" that comes with my Balmar MC-612 external regulator does not seem to be included in the conversion.
Is there a plug I can use to connect the field and tach on the back of the alternator, or do I have to cut the plug off the regulator wiring harness and just connect them with the ring terminals to the alternator as you show in the article?

Thanks,
