my old alternator went dead on my 95 base model s14, so i got a new one but turns out that it is a se model with fog light alternator. it fits great but i dont know where to connect the the ground wire to the alternator. its different from the base model alternator and thats why i need ur help. thanks

the circle part is the ground wire. i dont know where to bolt that ground wire.

there should be a bolt in the back of the alternator where you ground. i think that bolt should be a 8mm nut.

Bolt it anywhere to the case, it doesn't matter where.

The case is metal. Therefore, bolting it anywhere, to anything, is fine.
