Alternator Insulating Bush

Had a look over the marlin today as it's done around 60 miles going to and fro IVA. I noticed the white insulating bush on the alternator B+ was showing signs of heat and had melted slightly. I gave the wiring a wiggle to find it quite loose, it seems the nut holding the cables onto the post had vibrated loose, before I go delving into problems that don't exist, I'm guessing this was the issue causing high resistance at the joint? Looks like I need to add a lock nut!

 

BMW 6 cylinders are supposed to be rebound for running smooth but it seems to be shaking many fixtures in the engine bay loose!
