So I was in a hurry removing my alternator because my wife was a little mad since, i guess, we were supposed to meet her sister for dinner. Anyway, I forgot to make a note of which wire connected where, and thought I'd post here and see if anyone might know.
Basically, I have a red, yellow and black wire, and two metal tabs The red/bacl/yellow wires came off the this:

One of the connectors has an X in a circle, and the other has a half-circle with an arrow in it, somewhat like a speedometer.
Then, the metal tabs: does anyone know if they connect to the same bolt on the back of the alternator?

Thanks gents now i just need to figure out the connections on the back of the alternator itself. I don't suppose anyone has a manual or instructions for a Bosch AL325x?

Thanks for the help gents!
Ok, i have two big lugs, do they both connect to the big nut?

First pic is the two big lugs. I think they both attach to the post on in the bottom of the 2nd picture. Then I believe that the black wire connects to one or the other of the nut or the screw in the top circle.
Any thoughts?
EDIT: Fix shown in the pic below.
