Converting newer style alternator to older style connection.
Hi there,I would like to convert the 2 pin plug from the newer style alternator to the M5 stud on the older style one.
Lately the 2 pin plug started flickering at high revs and I suspect this damaged the 2 alternators I bought in the last few months so I would like to go the stud type fitting (can't see any faults in the wiring).
Does anyone know if it is just a case of joining the two wires together and using a ring terminal to fit the older style? Thank you.

It might actually be belt slip, not all belts squeal. Might just be needing a turn on the tensioner.
Mine use to dimly glow when accelerating hard or at high rpm.
wonky crank pulleys can cause this as well, as the belt flexes a lot at high rpm.
