Default May need a ground strap on the tank

Hi Robert

Noticed that you are using what looks to be rubber strips under the straps for rub protection. I did the same thing and one problem I ran in to was inconsistent ground on the tank fuel gauge sender. Some times gauge worked and sometimes not. Turned out it was depending on the fuel line for grounding. Solution was a length of the small woven ground strap material from one of the mounting screws on the gauge sender over to the frame.

Enjoy watching the progress.

Cheers Phil
