Help with alternator wiring loom

What gauge are the red wires

Hi

I have an 83 GTI, the wiring loom between the alternator and the starter motor (2 red wires and 1 thin blue wire are badly corroded at the terminals. I have a new 3 pin plug for the alternator end on the way but am not sure what gauge/Amp wire i should get for the 2 thick red wires.

Any help would be appreciated.

12ga should service you well.  you could go to 8 or 10, but to be sure you should measure your current wire.

What do Divorces, Great Coffee, and Car Electrics all have in common?

They all start with GOOD Grounds.

Where are my DIY Links?
