I have been told that modern and reproduction alternators are “internal sensing”. Meaning that they don’t need that other brown wire to be plugged in. On my TR6, I used that extra spade on the alternator plug to provide a high current power source for my electric fan and halogen head lights. I then just hid the end of the sensing wire back into the harness. I found this made for a cleaner, more original looking, installation for these modern components, and it has been working just fine.
Well that's a very interesting point. I didn't know that but I always put it in to be sure. Using that spare wire for the fan is a great idea. Personally I run it through the fuse box bit it depends on which electric fan you put in. Definitely a different idea and I'm sure will be useful to many so much appreciated.
Looking good!!!
