uk-rich Posted December 18, 2005 Share Posted December 18, 2005 when fitting these aftermarket earthing kits, one end goes to the alternator, do you just bolt it straight on to the body of the alternator or somewhere else ? cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hadyn Posted December 18, 2005 Share Posted December 18, 2005 I bolted mine to the earthing point that the horn uses rather than alternator Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uk-rich Posted December 18, 2005 Author Share Posted December 18, 2005 where does the alternator earth to exactly ?, can't see any obvious earth wires on it, or does it earth through the block ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

uk-rich Posted December 18, 2005 Author Share Posted December 18, 2005 so really the wire could be just fixed to one of the alternator mounting bolts then ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wez_p Posted December 18, 2005 Share Posted December 18, 2005 so really the wire could be just fixed to one of the alternator mounting bolts then ?? exactly there's one that's fairly easy to access from the front & is a 10mm bolt then get as many others as you can find to ensure the best earth and make use of the remaining cables that come with the kit!

Gordon F Posted December 18, 2005 Share Posted December 18, 2005 so really the wire could be just fixed to one of the alternator mounting bolts then ?? Just pick a selection of random 'earth' points as long as it looks ok Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
