Where oh where was this extra earth strap fitted?
McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
I have an extra earth strap left over from my 500 rebuild.
Its exactly a foot long with a 6mm battery type connector at one end, the other end is a flat 6 mm terminal the cable is 7.5 mm o/d including the insulation so pretty hefty.
I recall thinking at the time that it ws a good idea - so far no trawls of my dismantling photos have come up showing it.
I can't remember where it was fitted as an extra earth strap by a PO (Bryan or earlier) any ideas anyone?
deltarider:
I have no knowledge of any extra GND wire, not separate I mean. There is a thick green wire supposed to connect to the frame where the coils are, but that is part of the harnass.
Bryanj:
Dont remember an extra earth lead Ted, the only one i remember is battery to LH rear engine mount where paint needs to be removed.
The positive to solenoid was made up my me
McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
I've checked the photos it was not connected directly to the battery at one end.
I'm thinking it might have been a frame to engine link or frame to rear fender.
blade918:
