Thanks Vette. Questions regarding the regulator firewall mounting and alternator grounding.
1. Should the rubber grommets isolate the regulator metal frame from coming into direct contact with the firewall so that the single wire from the back of the regulator is the only contact to the firewall?
I noticed the previous regulator (which was bad) was on the grommets on one side of the firewall but the screw head on the opposite side of the firewall were not.
2. The negative battery post cable is attached to the Alternator bracket and a wire from the negative battery post is attached to the chassis.
Is this adequate or is there a better method?
