I have the complete documentation and procedure, including many photos and links to materials in a Word Document. Too large to upload to the network.

Maniac Electric Motors (makers of the SVX high-output alternator) have added my previous version, without the fuse, to their website as a model of how to do additional heavy gauge wiring and fusing. They have my latest one and are converting it to a .pdf file for easier loading. Once they put it on their website, I can download it and post post a direct link to it as well. I will send a copy to Earl to put in the How-To documents.

For those who don't want to do the new configuration (single power wire) mod that I did, the document will still address the fuse issue of the original "upgrade", as well as links for better cable and connectors.

The only thing not in there is the replacing of the 2 white wires that run inside the black plastic channel. Just a matter of cutting them back and adding new lengths and connectors to replace the aging, brittle ones. This still keeps the original electrical design and adds the heavier additional wires that a H/O alternator requires.
