Just go to Home Depot, get some lamp cord, and twist three strands together with wire-nuts on the terminals and you're good to go.
Geeze, it's not rocket science!

Actually looks like the one from eBay. Wiring is all set as I have an electrical engineer looking under the panel. He's already found a loose wire that could be the cause of my GPS flaking out, an incorrectly sized wire leading to the panel and a few other things that make you go "hmmmm."

Such a machine is the "Turbo-Encabulator". Basically the only new principle involved is that instead of power being generated by the relative motion of conductors and fluxes, it is produced by the modial interaction of magneto reluctance and capacitive directance.
The original machine had a base-plate of prefabulated amulite, surmounted by a malleable logarithmic casing in such a way that the two spurving bearings were in direct line with the pentametric fan. The latter consisted simply of six hydrocoptic marzelvanes, so fitted to the ambifacient lunar waneshaft that side fumbling was effectively prevented. The main winding was of the normal lotus-o-delta type placed in panendermic semi boloid slots in the stator, every seventh conductor being connected by a non reversible tremie pipe to the differential girdlespring on the "up" end of the grammeters. Forty-one manestically spaced grouting brushes were arranged to feed into the rotor slip-stream a mixture of high-S value phenylhydrobenzamine and five per cent reminative tetryliodohexamine. Both of these liquids have specific pericosities given by: P = 2.5 * Cn ** 6.7 where "n" is the diathetical evolute of retrograde temperature phase disposition and "C" is Cholmondeley's annular grillage coefficient. Initially "n" was measured with the aid of a metapolar refractive pilfrometer (for a description of this ingenious instrument, see L. E. Rumpelverstein in "Zeitschrift fur Elektrotechnistatische Donnerblitze" vol. vii), but up to the present date nothing has been found to equal the transcendental hopper dadoscope (See "Proceedings of the Peruvian Academy of Skatological Sciences" June 1914). Electrical engineers will appreciate the difficulty of nubing together a regurgitative purwell and a pamitive wennelsprocket. Indeed this proved to be a stumbling block to further development until, in 1942, it was found that the use of anhydrous nangling pins enabled a kryptonastic bolling shim to be tankered. The early attempt to construct a sufficiently robust spiral decommutator failed largely because of a lack of appreciation of the large quasipiestic stresses in the gremlin studs; the latter were specially designed to hold the reffit bars to the spamshaft. When, however, it was discovered that wending could be prevented by a simple addition to the living sockets, almost perfect running was secured. The operating point is maintained as near as possible to the H.F. rem peak by constantly fromaging the bitumogeneous spandrels. This is a distinct advance on the standard nivelsheave in that no dramcock oil is required after the phase detractors have remissed. Undoubtedly the Turbo-Encabulator has now reached a very high level of technical development. It has been successfully used for operating nofer trunnions. In addition, whenever a barescent skor motion is required, it may be employed in conjunction with a drawn reciprocating dangle arm to reduce sinusoidal depleneration.
There should be a STC for your model.
