Original part number for FE : Strap Assembly - Battery ground was # 7409590 This was replaced some time later and became # 7414982 Sorry I cant tell you how long an original one was. The one I have on my wagon is about 400mm long. Cheers Stewy 8) Title: Re: Braided steel earth strap Post by: pbh0069 on March 24, 2015, 05:53:25 PM hi cam
