Subject:      alternator wires (last post hopefully)
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1"

Okay I'm officially starting my project today (putting an isolator in and
replacing most of the wiring).  I have everything planned except one last
thing is sticking in my mind.  The person who owned my westy before me
installed the aux battery system.  They did a terrible job including
installing the wrong isolator and then even only istalling that one halfway.
It resulted in chronically dead batteries (both of them, even after I
replaced both of them) so I need to make sure that everything is hooked up
as it needs to be when I replace the wiring.  So my question is -- what goes
between the alternator and the battery.  On those two 12 ga wires that come
out of the alternator and in some form end up at the battery, what special
connections are there along the way (starter?, etc.)?  I truly appeciate all
of the help everyone has been offering.

Thank You,
Danny
