These are the connections on my alternator. Are these common in the USA as the Euro Legacy seems to have a different connector block push in rather then the push on spade connectors I have here.
Need to get a replacement unit..any ideas where I can shop.

I agree its rough looking work..only discovered this when I started poking about under the wiring sleeving. I will of course re-do all the connections with proper sleeving and joining.
Looking for a replacement alternator for it..with similar connections. May decide to refit Euro Alternator with correct plug in connector
Yes, I suggest finding a replacement plug from a yard and then replacing your alt if need be. you may find that things work better with the correct plug on there.

The older style 3-plug alternators have a 12v turn on lead that tells the alternator it's ok to make voltage "turn on".
The newer style 2-plug alternators turn on above a certain rpm.
The other two leads are sense & light connections.
So you should be able to figure something out, whether you want to swap the alternator or just get a new plug.
Good evening and thank you Josh.
Appreciate your assistance and opinion on this. I have already taken the appropriate measures, picked up a used alternator for about $30 local breakers yard, cut the loom and took the two-pin socket plug, actually I did note the additional black wire loosly connected, and I have now been able to cut that away...seems there was a previous mod done...
Anyway success...perfectly quiet alternator fitted in less then 10 mins for about $30.
