★ In a 6V system, proper earthing is crucial for reliable starting and charging. These braided grounding straps provide a low-resistance earth connection between engine, frame and body.
Application
These grounding straps are typically intended for essential earth connections such as battery-to-frame, engine-to-frame, or generator-to-regulator. Check during restoration which grounding straps were originally fitted to your vehicle — early and late models had different radio suppression systems.
Installation notes
Fit the straps with star washers for a good metal-to-metal connection. Ensure the connection points are clean and free from paint or corrosion. Tighten the fixing bolts properly — a poor earth connection causes starting problems and weak lighting in 6V systems.
Compatibility
Please note: complete radio suppression kits for WWII jeeps contain 15-20+ straps depending on early (up to serial number 289001) or late (from 289001) specification. This set of 2 straps is intended for partial replacement or supplementation.
Historical context
Grounding straps served two purposes: electrical earth connection for the 6V system and radio interference suppression. From early 1943, all jeeps received bond straps to reduce RF noise that could interfere with radio communication.
