Brief Description:  Alternator and Generator.

Spent the past couple of days figuring out the internal generator and external alternator wiring.
TAF did my wiring looms quite some time ago and I thought I had it all sorted out, however.
When I looked at wiring the external alternator, the wiring diagram from TAF did not make much sense to me.
I had previously asked TAF how I should wire the alternator and it also made no sense to me.
I had an external alternator relay but no field wire to the alternator, ( IG connection ) so the alternator could not be energised.
After a lot of help from BDH and a lot of head scratching, we decided that the best solution was to remove the external alternator relay.
I connected the B+ wire from alternator to the C/B, removing the relay from the circuit and used the V-PX J12-12 wire ( now BU-Alt-Field ) to the IG connection on the Alternator ( which is also the warning light connection ).
I tested the internal generator wiring plug on the voltage regulator, the GGRB+LC connections all tested correctly.
Connected the battery and the warning charge lights illuminate as required when respective alternator selected, thank heavens.
