Ground straps

[FHP813]

Anybody know where I can get the 2 straps that go bolted to the hood hinges? I need them for the Florida car. Any help would be appreciated.:thanks:

I've got some part numbers around here somewhere....I'll see if I can find them and I'll post 'em up.

Are they still available?

[ImEvil1]

Well...the numbers I have are a combination of engineering numbers and old part numbers that have been superceded. I checked online, and didn't get any hits on them. I know PPI sells them from time to time on Ebay, but I'd rather get them from a bone-yard before going that route (lots of Crown Vics with them).

I'm going to the "U pick" yard on Friday. I'll check:thumbsup:

If you snag me some, I'll split the cost with ya. :)

No problemo :)

Great link, Andy. Have you gotten any of these in for comparison? Even if you had to cut and solder, these were usually painted over up front and the work could be easily hidden.

I may be mistaken (usually am) but i think i have seen the braided copper wire at
A Radio Shack or
B Home Depot or
C none of the above?
I know I have seen the Solder/crimp connections at NAPA
These are easy items to replicate (or make from parts) you choose? buying off the
shelf
is for sissy's (or people that have a job) and or can afford this stuff?
Sorry I hope i was of some help?

Hey Bernie,

I didn't even really think about it when you first posted, but my '93 FHP car doesn't have the ground straps. I took a look today when I was cleaning it up a little. I don't think yours would have had them, either.

[FHP813]

Good news! Why wouldn't they have them?

[ImEvil1]

The RF suppression deal was an option....they aren't listed on the '93 FHP buildsheets, but not all of the options ordered were anyway. I'm glad I have the '93 to use for stuff like this, though.
