Alternator wires... melted?

Right there, it's grounded to the case in the right pic because of the missing insulator you see in the left pic.
If it is under there then it doesn't look assembled right.
Regulator might be ok, might not.

Ahh crap my suspicions were correct. I didn’t notice the isolators not there until after the wires were damaged when I looked at the older photos. Looking at the service manual shows them as well :( (I blame my buddy who did the disassembly haha)

Any chance the alternator isn’t toast? :BangHead: Worth a shot to maybe find some isolators and give it a shot?
