[QUOTE="adulbrich, post: 8575149, member: 661255"] Got the alternators mounted and pulled all my old wiring. Unfortunately, because I got the triple output posts, I couldn't group all the GP alternators together. The post off the edge hit on the bracket, so I had to move the stock alt over. The stock alt's post is off the back. Next, I'll be wiring them up with the blue box regulators.

It's plastic and will do nicely to contain all my fuse holders between the caps and alternators.
