michaeldavis39 Posted June 18, 2020 Report Share Posted June 18, 2020 Could someone please take a photo of where this strap attaches?? Thanks in advance. Michael Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BlueTR3A-5EKT Posted June 18, 2020 Report Share Posted June 18, 2020 This one? Peter W PS. I am told some repro racks do not have the threaded plug where the earth cable should go Quote Link to post Share on other sites
michaeldavis39 Posted June 18, 2020 Author Report Share Posted June 18, 2020 Yes that one, I see it loops around that bolt but where does it go from there, I bought a new earth strap and it's quite short - would it attach to one of the rack mount bolts?

AarhusTr6 Posted June 18, 2020 Report Share Posted June 18, 2020 Hi I am not sure originally where it goes but I ran it to a bolt on the radiator, and the horn works great. Richard Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mark69 Posted June 18, 2020 Report Share Posted June 18, 2020 On my 69 that earth strap comes direct from the new auto sparks loom. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
michaeldavis39 Posted June 18, 2020 Author Report Share Posted June 18, 2020 Thanks Mark I will have a look at my autosparks loom- I bought it around 5 years ago in advance - is yours more recent? Michael Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mark69 Posted June 19, 2020 Report Share Posted June 19, 2020 Roughly about the same age Michael. Only fitted it last year. Mark. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BlueTR3A-5EKT Posted June 19, 2020 Report Share Posted June 19, 2020 If you are missing the black wire with ring terminal in the loom that earths the steering rack, you could fit the TR4/4A item, they used a separate earth strap for the rack. Item 134301. The short item you have (130581) is for the earthing around the steering column couplings Items 26 on this page https://www.moss-europe.co.uk/shop-by-model/triumph/tr2-4a/electrical-system/battery-cables/battery-tr2-4a-1953-67.html https://www.moss-europe.co.uk/lead-earth-134301.html?assoc=115109 Cheers Peter W Quote Link to post Share on other sites
michaeldavis39 Posted June 19, 2020 Author Report Share Posted June 19, 2020 I have item 134301 which on Moss website for steering rack is shown at the bottom of the TR6 rack, I also have the other earth strap further up around the rubber joint which is still attached.
