After having completed a body off referb and taken plenty of pictures, the PC I had most of them on has thrown in the towel.
I have managed to sort out most of the wiring I am bit stuck on the alternator.
I have the main output cable and the small wire with the odd shaped crimp on the end which bolts to the smaller connection on the alternator (underneath the plastic cover). The last one is a spade connector. Does this push on to the spade on the back of the alternator which is not under the plastic cover or does it go elsewhere?
Secondly I am unsure of the cable that should go to the oil pressure sender. Does this come from the wiring loom in the nose of the car or from the loom on top of the engine. There doesn't appear to be any wire long enough to drop down to the oil pressure sender from the main engine loom.
Any help gratefully received.
Cheers.
Paul.

Hi Pete,
Thats answered my question. Brilliant, only a few bits to go and the car will be running under it's own power for the first time in 3 years.
Cheers,
Paul.
