Hey everyone my first post on here. I'm in the process of swapping out the alternator in my 88 GL with one from an 88 Maxima got the tip off from this site actually as posted by GeneralDisorder. I have a question I couldn't find the answer to in the original thread from 2009 so I figured I'd post this. If this is better left in the comments of the other thread I can delete this, but I wasn't sure where to post exactly...anyway the long awaited question. The GL alternator has this (I think it's some sort of relay?) thing on the back and I'm wondering if I need to move it over to the Maxima alternator because it doesn't have that part. not sure if it's necessary and it doesn't look like the Maxima alternator has bolts that are long enough to accommodate it, but I figured I would ask. I've attached pictures of the back of both alternators for reference.
