Engine Ground Strap
Where can I get a braided engine ground strap 15" - 18" in length? Haven't found any this size at the usual Ford parts places.
And what does the 12 4 stamp on the end refer to? Thanks,

Re: Engine Ground Strap
Thank you...I should have done a specific search...I see they are available at Summit. What does the 12 4 stamp refer to?

Re: Engine Ground Strap
Suggestion: When grounding an old Ford consider fastening ground straps together and have them contact motor/ Frame in more than one area.

Re: Engine Ground Strap
Just for the heck of it "mike" the thickness and then check it against this chart.
http://www.advantagefabricatedmetals...ndecimals.html Here's one that's 18/4. The 4 means 4 gauge. https://www.speedwaymotors.com/Taylo...ong,73424.html |

Re: Engine Ground Strap
Hi 19Fordy,
I’m thinking it may be a 4 gauge wire equivalent strap, i. e. Enough cross sectional area to be ohm resistant equivalent. |
