I was getting my herd of cars ready for winter yesterday and remembered that my 914 had a very dull glow from the alt light, time to look see. The battery ground had some crud, as did the post, but want came to light under the sun was the 'Green Crud' in the bundle of wires that make up the ground, under the plastic covering. Any chance this is causing the dull glow of my alt light? Does this 'Green Crud' infection, fatal? Serious note: How long a ground wire do I need to buy? Is there a battery clamp that would allow me another hook up for my MSD? Same question for the hot side? Bob

Sorry to hijack.... does anyone know where to get the ground lug that is attached to the body above the battery? PET shows no part number that I can find.
Also, can it just be drilled/ground out? I couldn't tell if it was welded in there. While I'm at it, I might as well replace the one in the trunk too. Could I just use a bolt welded in? |

The ground posts were considered part of the chassis, so no separate part number. It's M8x1.25 thread and the originals were brazed in place. But welding an M8 bolt in it's place is standard repair. Just make sure to clean all the old brass off. |
