    Alternator changed - help needed!

    I've got a (non-original) Bosch alternator in my '77 RR which I need to get wired up.
    The terminals on the back don't match the standard connection as shown in the photos.
    Which wire goes to which terminal?

    Ian

    It's a 60amp. I think the model is AF601-18300 -AC

    Thanks,
    Ian

    I bought it as an unfinished project, so have inherited other people's work to finish off, but the price was good!
    It has 5 spotlights (although I might pinch 2 of them for my Disco) and dual batteries (AlphaCell Premium Gel 165GXL, of which I know nothing, is the 2nd battery).
    I've got a Brawn Porta-winch, but not a permanently mounted one (yet).
    That's all at the moment; probably won't add much more to it.

    Ta,
    Ian

    Thanks for the link, I'll have a good look at it and see what I can do.
    My long term plan is to beef up the alternator or maybe add a 2nd alternator, but in the short term I just want to get it running and roadworthy, so looking for the quickest and cheapest way out.
    I'm not a dab hand at auto-elec, but can (usually) make sense of a wiring diagram.
    Unfortunately, the wiring diagram in the RR workshop manual doesn't mark the wires B+, D+, D-, +.
