Back in the days when Viva HCs were plentiful in scrap yards I raided the wiring from a scrapper for the alternator so my car had both types of connection on it to suit whichever alternator was available to fit.
I believe the fat brown wire goes to the starter solenoid, to pass generated current back into the system, and that I cut spliced the two brown/yellow wires that I believe are the control together. I don't think there is anything more required.
If someone has the single plug wiring available that would be great, otherwise I could go the Land Rover route and switch to one of their alternators (after checking offsets) which use ring connectors held on by nuts.
