Rectifier Wiring

Hi All,

I have just purchased a 6v rectifier for my 1979 st70, as it didnt seem to have one, the wires were just clamped to a metal plate, not a rectifier.

The rectifier I have bought is the one below. I have also included a link to the wiring diagram for my bike. Any ideas which wire goes to which connector? I have a white wire and a red wire.

My assumption is that the white wire goes to the male connector on the rectifier and the red to the female connector.

Any help appreciated as I am not great with electrics.

Cheers
Ben

hi
is the metal plate bright orange

Yes it is, painted orange tho as there is paint on the wires to.

that is the rectifier
it is the same as on my 74 6 volt

How strange. It doesn't look like any kind of rectifier I have seen before. I have ordered the new rectifier so may go ahead and replace it anyway as it looks like it could do with it. Will post a pic of it if I can.
