Hade som trouble with my alternator and was going to masseur the diode bridge when I disconnected the + from the alternator it fell off !!
Previous owner or someone had tried to fix the cable and hade Taped the cable and shoe together so it won’t fall off!! ain’t the right method right 🤣😂🤣😂
So there was two threads holding it on place and from the outside it looked ok. So lucky I found it. 🍀
