rectifier wiring confusion

hi all, i bought a new cloth wound wiring harness for my aug 71 tiger tr6r, i checked all the wires with my original one owner harness and there is only one difference, at the rectifier on the original there is a double red wire connector to the top and to the bottom of the rectifier but on the new harness there is only one double red connector and a SINGLE red wire connector, so, where does the double connect to? top or bottom ??

The blade terminal at the top of the Lucas 49072 rectifier is electrically the same as the mounting stud at the bottom of the rectifier. You can connect to either one although since you only have one wire I'd connect it to the stud end using a ring terminal. (The red wires are all ground wires in a positive ground system.)

Hey ecose, too have a 1971 TR6R that I bought about 4 months ago but still don't have it running. I live up the coast at Prince Rupert BC. Were did you buy your cloth harness?

Thanks

Bob
