Didn't it come with an instruction sheet? Mine did.
Or any + or - mark on them?
I thought (!) it should work fine in either direction.

It's easily measured after installation.

??????????? now i,m even more baffled the instrutions which came with it only state,replacement selenium rectifier,and states that you should bind the base of the new part with tape(3 times)???? no mention of how to connect the wires :shock:
it is a genuine honda replacement from cms part number 31700-098-305. (they no longer have the metal plates)
do i just connect the 2 wires and away we go :?:

That's exactely how I connected mine.
Works perfectly, far more reliable as the orange metal plate.
