I had a small fire in my engine compartment yesterday on my 99 Frontier. It
appears to have started at the alternator. The fire damage was basically
confined to the plug or "pigtail" to the alternator. I bought a new
alternator today and still need the plastic plug , clip or whatever it's
called.The dealer wants $400.00 for the harness and wont sell just the
plug.. The alternator connection is  male spade connectors. Can't  I just
crimp 2 female spade connectors on the wires and make my connection?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated. I don't want another fire but I
need to get back on the road.

Thanks,
