starter and alternator contactor

01 Mar 2006 starter and alternator contactor

Here are a couple of quick photos of the contactor for the alternator and starter. I really don’t need a starter contactor, but to simplify wiring, I’ve connected the alternator to the starter, and the starter to the contactor.

In this picture you can also see the “forest of tabs” ground block. I will connect a ground wire to the back where the batteries are, and two ground wires to the engine. The engine ground is critical. If I lose that, I’ll fall out of the sky.
