Solution for alternator battery stud insulator

[dyermullet]

The insulator fell apart on my alternator when removing the battery cable.

These are not available from any parts stores, the only source is online. 
$6 part does not meet min order price + additional shipping.

I had my local advance auto parts order the alternator battery stud kit for an 85 amp alternator. , since it looked close in the picture.   BWD Part #SC562  $2.79 Most auto parts stores have this available, Napa, oreiley carquest etc.  The stud and one nut is incorrect for our alternator, but I took a sharp knife and cut the "nipple" off the black insulator and it fits perfectly.  You can also reuse the insulator cap that covers the battery cable.

I took some pictures showing the mod before I assembled the alternator but had to reset my phone and lost the pictures.

good tip...being an android man, I started automatically uploading all my pics to Google+ storage as I take them so they will be in storage if I need them

Looks like that kit, or one like, it would make an inexpensive bulkhead connector for running large wires into the gas tank.
