Default Alternator reinstall- where do these go?

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?

Oil pressure gauge sender.

I dont recall from here which goes where but it wont hurt if backwards..just no working gauge..then reverse em.

if your oil pressure reading is wrong, just reverse the connection.

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?

Not sure if it is the same, but for my alternator, big lug for charge went to B+ and green(possibly blue) wire with small lug but bundled with charge cable for resistor went on D+. here is a picture matching mine.

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.
