Alternator earth question

[Dean]

I've carried out a generator to alternator conversion on my bay this morning. I used speedy jims wiring guide for the wires. Only thing i'm curious about is that i no longer have a noticable earth.
Is the alternator earthed through it's body?

Yes

Yes, dynamo earth connection is now redundant.
