'Block connectors' are useful for connecting the wires from the stator. Alternatively
soldering or crimping would be fine.
Use solder, or crimped 'receptacle' connectors, to connect wires to the rectifiers.
Take care not to overheat the rectifiers while soldering. Bolt the rectifiers onto the
heatsink, which will probably look like the one in the diagram, but can be any piece
of aluminium approximately 250 grams or more in weight.
Keep all the connections under a weatherproof cover.
