Hello:
 Working on a ct3 that I just received and going through the wiring and this is how it came with the battery ( B ) not going to the rectifier (A) so I am thinking these need to be switched and also wiring diagram show fuse going in between battery and rectifier but it has male ends (rectifier also has a male end) so is it ok where it is.
Also I know you all like photos so here is one before I stared on the wiring.
Thanks,
John

I'll look at mine when I get home. Frankly, I think this is correct. I just replaced the battery in my CT3 and recall rectifier (red) had two wires going into a female lead with a single (red) male from the rectifier going in. The battery (red) went into the loom with a single female coming off the battery into a single male.

Thanks and I would really appreciate if when you have a chance you could check it out.
 Also do not know where that emoji came from as it was suppose to be "(B)".
Thanks Again,
John

I put some spaces around your "B" as you inadvertently used the short-hand text for the emoji...  B ) without the space is the smiley sunglasses guy.

This is how my 1971 CT1 is also wired, so a good chance that yours is correct #goatboy56.
