Anyone got a picture of the earth strap

on the flywheel end of the block / head?

I've got some electrical gremlins which I'm troubleshooting, and someone mentioned in another post of mine (can't quite remember who or where) that this may be the cause…

Thanks

Ah ha - yes I think I do - that's definitely missing from my car… I thought as much as there's all sorts of wierd things going on with my electrics.

I think there is also supposed to be one there…

Could I be a pain and ask someone for a photo of that one too?

Thanks

I had to fit that 'pictured' rocker cover earth to the drivers side strut as it didn't like being near the coil for some unknown reason   :dontknow:

If you end up needing an earth strap from the chassis leg to the gearbox, I'm sure I've got a spare one in the garage somwhere :D

Awesome - yes please - I don't think that I've got that one on the car either. Are you going to Gaydon?
