So you have no dedicated cable off of the alternator case ?.
You said the alternator was sent back for anodizing and maybe now being anodized the mounting points or mounting surfaces are not providing electrical paths and "possibly" before when it was sent back for repair they found an issue, repaired it and anodized it and never said anything to you about a repair or a tech saw something and fixed it and never documented it.
Most alternators have a threaded hole on them like maybe for a 3/8" bolt and this would be a good point to remove the anodizing around that hole and then bolting on a ring terminal going to into a 4 gauge or larger cable and then the other end of the cable going to the battery negative post.
