I suppose you are correct, but since mine is on a Mk1 using that very large
wire that previously powered the generator, it was not necessary.

It's also a good idea to run a larger "charge" wire from alternator to
solenoid to handle the higher output current.

My suggestionis to do the Bosche conversion. It is both electronically and
mechanically a direct swap. The only thing that might be different is a
different size belt.
It is for a 78-80 Ford Fiesta.
Not only will it cure the noise but it will generate a full 55 amps to power
any sort of accessories that you choose to install.
