great videos. one question that I haven\'t been able to get a satisfactory answer to: when you work with alternator manufacturers such as Nations or APS, and they give you a max temperature (say, 120°C0, do you have them specify where on the alternator that temperature is sensed for that number? Using an infrared sensor, i find a wild difference across the back of the alternator (near diode pack) and, also, around the stator. Of course, It is easy if there is a temperature post for the sensor. but knowing where the manufacturer measured the temp for the value they gave you as safe would be really helpful for a safe/efficient install. (if we hook up the temp sensor where it is hotter than the location the manufacturer used, the alternator will be throttled (but safe). If we hook up the temp sensor where the temp is less than where the manufacturer did, then we will (for a while) get more power but reduce the service life of the alternator (or worse).)

Can you show a picture of where to connect the #1 brown wire on a Sprinter?
