Features
- Braided steel cable for reliable conductivity
- Fitted with crimped eye terminals
- Suitable for 6V electrical systems
- Ensures proper grounding for starter motor and generator
- Essential component for radio suppression
★ Proper grounding is critical in 6V systems — poor connections lead to starting problems, weak lighting and malfunction of electrical components.
Installation notes
Remove paint at mounting points for optimal contact. Use star washers to ensure a solid, corrosion-resistant connection. Check all earth connections regularly — oxidation and loose connections are a common cause of electrical problems.
Historical context
Ground bond straps were used during WWII at dozens of locations in jeeps, lorries and other military vehicles, both for reliable electrical operation and for radio interference suppression. In a 6V system, solid grounding is even more critical than in later 12V systems.
