Loss of Power, Fried Wire from Alternator

Hi Everyone,
This is the latest chapter in an ongoing saga of electrical issues. I pulled into my parking spot, where my 1990 900S (137K) was about to lose all power and die. I have experienced this before, and had a new voltage regulator installed, and also had a new battery light installed before that. So I knew there was something funky with the system when the battery light did not come on when I tried again to start it.
Okay, so I noticed the wire from the base of the alternator to something was completely fried and broken. My questions:
1. I plan to replace the wire tomorrow. It looks like a straightforward job. What kind of wire should I buy and what diameter should I get so that it too doesnt melt and break?
2. Any other issues in pulling the bolts off and replacing the wire?
As you can tell I am not the most mechanically inclined so words of moral support are also welcome!
thanks!
