My '74 has the plug in the cap on the rack. Attached under this plug
(which is removed to grease the rack) are 2 wires. What are these
wires for? I saw (in the Autobooks manual) it called a "bonding strap".
Does that mean it's grounding the rack? Why? Why 2 wires?
Thanks.
These two wires are grounds for the headlights and the oil pressure
switch. In addition to this ground the headlights are also grounded to
the front valance. I think this is the only redundant system that Lucas
ever built and I'm sure it was accidental.
Some of the later wiring diagrams indicate these return grounds with a B
(black) on the ground side of the circuit.
