Installation notes
The ground strap runs from the exhaust pipe (approximately 7 inches below the exhaust manifold flange, on the engine side of the pipe) to the bolt beneath the engine mount on the frame. The C-shaped attachment to the exhaust pipe was originally spot welded; with reproduction parts, soldering or spot welding may be required.
Historical context
Bond straps were added to military jeeps during WWII to suppress radio interference by ensuring a uniform electrical potential across all body components. Later models received more extensive bonding systems for improved signal suppression.
