Jeff - Look what I found. I think this is exactly what you need. And first I was disappointed that the fuse links where cut, but then I realized that you are going to have to connect this big yellow wire to your big yellow wire before the fuse links, so it isn't a problem.
But that raises the question of how you are going to make that connection. I have the right sized ring tongue connectors so I could crimp one on this wire and send you a matching one so you could bolt them together, but then you'd need a way to crimp it. Can you do that? I'm assuming you don't solder, but if you have a big enough gun that would work even better. The yellow wire is #10 so it will take a lot of heat. But I'll send shrink tubing to cover the joint and make it safe. I can get this out to you on Monday, but we just need to decide what, if any, connectors go with it and how you want the other three wires to be. I'll cut the big yellow one just ahead of the splice to the fuse links, but can send plenty of the other three if you want it.

Jim - Sorry you’re done. I was supposing that a M8 bolt plus a good washer could block the 3G on the crescent slider.
Gary - This looks exactly what I need!  I have everything needed to crimp, solder, heat shrink, waterproof link, etc. Just leave the longer wires as possible, I’ll do the rest.

Jeff - It is on its way. And, by the way, here's a revised drawing from Will's thread called Alternator Upgrade Related Questions (was One-Wire Alternator Questions). He pointed out the lack of the w/bk wire wrapping from the 3-wire connector to the stator lug, so I changed that. And he asked about the big yellow wire going to the starter relay or the megafuse, so I show it can go either place.
Does that make sense?

Wow, thanks so much Sir. Can’t wait to rebuild Big Brother’s C610! Plug’n play is quite difficult when the plug is gone…  Yep, absolutely!

Went to visit one of my sons this weekend (360 miles from here), Big Bro drove like a champ.
When we came back home (01:00 AM), your harness was at the door, Gary.  So, I think the last piece I need is the Ammeter transformed in Voltmeter, and then I’ll proceed to 3G swap. Meanwhile, I’ll rebuild the C610 connector, using your harness.

Good! Good that you got to go visit, good that Big Bro drove well, and good that you got the package.
Now let's hope you get the ammeter soon.
