And if you have a really sharp eye you will see that Bob P. actually labeled that ground wire as "66" and, sure enough, if you go to the ERA wiring instruction manual you will see that connection 66 is titled "GROUND FOR FUEL FILLER PIPE" and that black wire leads to the rear bumper bracket ground point.;)

... and what are those three small clear hoses for?

The street cap is a little different although end result is the same. Mine is turned towards the outside and hard to see but I’ll see if I can get a picture of it.

Then the rework techline came out to add the ground strap to affected vehicles. Unfortunately, I can't locate the techline copy right now. I could have a hard copy of it to scan, but I need to did some old books for that. Suffice to say, if you google "fuel filler pipe ground", you will see many instances of what can happen without the ground strap connected. As Patrick has said, the strap is to ensure the filler neck flange (this is the point of contact by hand and fuel bowser nozzle) is held at the same potential as the rest of the metalwork. |

Yeah - I haven't used that - keeps wanting me to resize my files. Everything's a frickin pain in the ass.

Gary, does a braided strap have any advantage over an insulated wire? Cheers, Glen |

Either one will produce near zero ohms. It doesn't need to be over-engineered, so no Sydney Harbour bridge. Lightweight and functional. ;) Gary |
I wonder how all the motorcycles etc with steel and aluminum rubber mounted fuel tanks get away with out ground straps and not bowing up at the pump?
Like I said, the video in the previous post (95) says it all. |

Now I'm off to find the answer, maybe. Similar scenario in boats: https://www.rib.net/forum/f36/ground...ank-42459.html |

Looks nice. Another happy customer Craig.

You do nice work.
I like the seal for the pedals. I put something similar in the last ERA. This build is going to look more like what you did. John |
Very nice work Craig! I'm feeling like I should be reworking my pedals somewhat :confused: ;)
Cheers! Glen |
