Paul as usual is right on.
Luckily, unlike electronic circuits, which do not like ground loops
having an extra strap is not a problem on a B.
It's a good idea to double up, with one strap at the back, and one
across the front mounts too. That way it's one less thing to worry
about. Heater cables make very poor ground straps, but very good
heating elements for a short while.

Early cars had it on the front left-hand engine mount, later cars on the
gearbox. In both cases it bridges the mounting rubber and so bolts to
the
engine/gearbox at one end and the chassis mount/rear crossmember at the
other.
