Left over in the tray from when the 400 was stripped is the part below:

Anyone know where it should live? Of course the PO could have fitted it but it does look commercially made....

I've never seen that on a 400/4 Matt. It looks like an earth wire of some sort.

Unless it's a home made replacement earth wire that goes from the starter solenoid to the battery? All the ones I have ever seen though are black and have a bigger terminal on one end to fit the battery.

Could be a homemade earth wire for inside the headlamp.

Looks like an added extra earth wire to me as well,
oddly enough I have a similar one left over from my 500 build except it's the same cable diameter as the battery earth.
