Where exactly does the alternator earth cable attach to, I've had a google and found out that it attaches to the block but where about's, I can't really see anywhere for it to go. Is there a special attachment I need for it.

The pic below shows the rough end of it, it's about a foot long.

Mine earths to the block through the alternator body and mounting bolts, although there is an earth strap nearby going between the chassis rail and the block.

Could it be that that you have seen?
