When I re-installed the fuel tank in Whitey I saw this looking at me. As often as this subject comes up I had completely forgotten about this ground tab. Only on the 75-76 models with the front located fuel pump. And by next week I will have probably forgotten again.

Guess I've never looked inside a 75-76 fuel tank area as I've never seen that ground strap!

My 75 1.8 has that ground too for the fuel pump.

Is there a list of all the ground locations?

Thanks

I think they're listed on Bowsley's website.

I hear ya on that one Kent!

I just write it off as Half-zymers - where you remember half the sh*t, half the time!

Yes, ground tab added on all 1.8 & 2.0 75-76 MY 914s to ground the relocated to the front trunk fuel pump.

So those with older 70-74 914s who do/did the Factory TSB recco to relocate the rear fuel pump up under the steering rack cover, would have to add a drilled/screwed-in ground next to the relocation spot up under there.

Hey Tom, Did ya notice this one's a virgin? As soon as I re-install the OEM alum windshield frame I'm back to 100% stock. And ya'll thought all I did was butcher 'em.
