Why I hate "reman" electrical parts

...well, just one of several reasons. Here's a glaring example, and what is the customer, a forum member, supposed to do? Where does he push on the orange wire connection? On his car, like with many AMCs, it's an angle boot with a push-on connection, pushes onto a STUD. 
They also used flat connectors that I call, perhaps incorrectly, a "spade" connector because, well, it reminds of of a spade used in digging or gardening. 
In this case, this reman alternator doesn't have a stud to push his orange wire onto, and there's no spade otherwise he could snip his wire and put a female spade on it to connect to a male spade on the alternator like AMC did with some years/models. 

What can he do? Short of modifying the alternator - not a lot. He's going to have to at the very least take a couple of things off - and likely void a warranty?

I HATE reman stuff. No biggy, but ugh, using a TRACTOR rear frame on those meant for a car - I know, that's just plain anal - it's functional even if not cosmetically correct. Still - it shows they simply grab parts, hey this will fit, and toss 'em together, and in this case - didn't even know - hey there HAS to be another connection besides just field and output! See, they don't know and don't care. 

In the pic below, a LONGER stud here was required. They used the shortest possible - in fact, none were ever that short originally. 
And in cases where the wire wasn't pushed onto a stud, there's supposed to be a flat spade UNDER the isolation diode to push a wire onto. 
So for this person - he's screwed unless it takes that nut off and adds some sort of connector and makes sure it's all put back carefully. 

(LOL, of course ideally his original AM alternator would be restored!  ;-)   because he had a PRESTOLITE system originally........)  

Had that with my older sons Jeep. 125k starter failed. Ok, no problem. Toss in a reman. He drives to my house and no crank to restart. Jack it up and jump the starter. Nothing! Out it comes again and back to OReillys.

I WANT to get back into this full force again - some things have slowed me a bit, such as - well, look at our bathroom pics below. I finished putting in a room of oak flooring last week. 

And - tentatively planned for next weekend - I pick up another SX4 and sounds like a truck load of Eagle parts. 
Have no idea where I'll put things but I'll figure it out..........
