I know how important the ground straps are in my 912, but on the 914, I can't find any! Usually between engine and body, right? Starter labors a bit and made me wonder....
Perhaps removed by PO? Where are they supposed to be? Thanks- Rob |

I put a second one on the 4.0. It hooks to the right front corner of the RH cam carrier, and the other end hooks to the same post as the negative battery cable.
I still have the one at the back hooked to the trans. The other two 914s have the stock ground cable, although Frody doesn't have it hooked to the stud. It stripped off the threads years ago. It is hooked to the bolt that holds the transmission mount to the body. The other end is hooked to the transmission. |

Good idea, I have a second one to fit when I change to my 930 valve covers,was going to mount on one stud and the go to the body but haven't decided on location exactly. I learnt about bad earths years ago on old VW's,my first bus was 6V and it had all sorts of gremlins,cleaned up all area's and even added some new ones,what a difference. |
