On the LH motor mount, the ground strap runs between the stud through
the engine front plate, and the front bolt into the frame. I believe
this is correct for TR2-3A, don't know about 3B.
Ground loops are not going to be a problem on a '3 <g>, but it's
important that both the body and engine block are grounded to the
battery.
Does anyone know of a strap between the body and frame ?
