Gary Lewis Posted May 4 Share Posted May 4 Since C610 doesn't carry much current with our approach you'll be fine with that ignition connector. Or the one from the salvage. Either one. The salvage is internally corroded, blades broken. And not sure about the C323 idea… Yep, they “fit” perfectly, but one of the C610 wire has a much bigger gauge (yellow): That big yellow wire carries all of the current to the cab. So I’m not convinced the smaller connector is a good way to go. Let me see what I have in C610 connectors, although it may not be today when I can look.

BigBrother-84 Posted May 4 Author Share Posted May 4 If 8 x 1.25 just run a 3/8-16 NC tap in under power. If 10mm, install a 3/8-16 helicoil. Jim, I verified and the 3G I bought is M8 x 1.25. Question: Why tap it 3/8-16 NC? I have plenty M8 x 1.25 bolts on hand… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Question: Why tap it 3/8-16 NC? I have plenty M8 x 1.25 bolts on hand… Did I not explain that the current bolt is 3/8-16 and the damn crescent adjuster is slotted for 3/8? What happens when you put a 5/16ish bolt with tiny shoulders into a big slot? How well does to hold in that sloppy hole, and how smoothly does it adjust??? I'm DONE.

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gary Lewis Posted May 6 Share Posted May 6 That’s fantastic, thanks so much! Just email me the shipping fees. 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigBrother-84 Posted May 7 Author Share Posted May 7 Jeff - It is on its way. 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… Does that make sense? https://forum.garysgaragemahal.com/file/n152812/Finished_C610_%26_Charge_Cable_-_with_Stator_%26_Callout.jpg Yep, absolutely!
