Wrong!! The alternator has nothing to do with the heater plugs, It's only job is to keep the battery charged. all the electric power comes from the battery. The heater plugs are fed from a relay and they will get red hot. Why did you change the alternator and what fault were you trying to...
ANYTHING you put between the connections will reduce the efficiency of that connection, the best connection will be clean metal to metal, what you put OVER that is up to you be it paint or grease.

Why did nissan scrap the F/W hubs on the late models ?? and fit a permanant drive flange, will this drive flange fit the models with F/W hubs. if so this should be cheaper than fitting manual hubs.
