Ground straps
Can anybody confirm where the locations of each of the copper braided ground straps should be on my 65? I had one by the driver's side motor mount (frame to block)and a broken one on the center of the crossmember (did the other end of this ground mount to the trans?) Were there more than two?
Thanks,

Assume you have radio equipped car w/undercar exhaust ... the remnants you found are from braided copper ground straps (2) attached at one end to the center crossmember (in holes on front, self-tapping screws + star washers) & the other end to the outboard leg of the exhaust pipe clamp.

You need a '65 Corvette Assembly Manual - the book that showed the factory guys how to put the car together - a "must-have"; you can order one from any of the vendors, or from the NCRS on-line store at www.ncrs.org. While you're there, order a '63 Corvette Shop Manual and the 1965 Supplement - those two books will answer 90% of your questions.
