    cheers

    the fitments at the end of wires will not allow you to fit it
    over the wrong threaded stud on the alt. body anyways .
    one is larger than the other .

    on the other hand black wire 99.9% of the time is a an earth
    wire making it B- in your case .

    seamen-sempleeesss :D :D

    don't need to touch tensioner for alternator swap, just undo top bolt on alternator, pop it back against block and prise belt off. refit the same way
