1950-1979 Transaxle to Chassis Negative Ground Strap - 12 inch
This braided negative ground strap restores a clean, reliable electrical ground between your Volkswagen's transaxle and chassis, curing the hard starts and gremlins a bad ground causes.
This reproduction Volkswagen ground strap makes the critical electrical connection between the transaxle and the chassis on your air-cooled VW. A solid ground is the foundation of the whole electrical system, and a corroded, frayed, or missing strap is a classic cause of hard starting, dim lights, and hard-to-trace electrical gremlins.
Built as a direct replacement, the braided strap provides a low-resistance path for proper voltage management and bolts in at the original mounting points. It is a simple, inexpensive part that quietly keeps the rest of the system honest.
