Can anyone tell me where to fix the B+ supression capacitor to the
alternator body?
Recently had cause to look under the bonnet and found that the
capcitor was just hanging by the wire which attached to the B+ blade
terminal (n.o. 3 in this image:

I presume that it should affix somewhere under the black plastic
housing, but can't see exactly where.

One side of the cap is connected to B+ . The other one is connected to
ground. So any screw (#4 e.g.) on the body of the alt. will do.
