Default Alternator Wiring Help

Hi All,

Just need some help with wiring my alternator/starter motor up. I'm useless at wiring. Its a 2.0 zetec engine using a zetec alternator which i have fitted to my escort van. On the alternator there are 3 terminals. saying B+, D+ & M. Does anyone know whats what? I take it the big red power cable from the battery goes to the starter solinoid? Does it matter which terminal on the solinoid i fit it too? There is also another wire which is black with a red trace, Is this an earth?. There is also a thin blue wire.

Any help would be apriciated as i need to get this wired up after work tomorrow night.

Thanks
Si
