carld Posted September 29, 2014 Report Share Posted September 29, 2014 What thickness should the wire be? Earth strap had broken, so needed to cut the existing lock wire, which easily went through the bolt holes, measuring roughly 0.8mm. Also is it possible to buy an original looking earth strap.

It is worth asking Moss what they sell today - no doubt if the accountants have been near it the item will be just a bit of insulated wire with crimped on blue plastic terminals -looking like sh**t Cheers Peter W Quote Link to post Share on other sites
carld Posted September 30, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 30, 2014 Thanks Peter, my quick fix earth strap is exactly as you describe until I can source a proper replacement. Cheers Carl Quote Link to post Share on other sites
