Restoration of Hull 731- Carrier, MG (Aust) Mortar Carrying

[Darrin Wright]

have installed the front gunners/passengers seat into the hull and fitted the seat adjuster/locking rails.

The parts manual list an earth strap to be fitted in the engine bay, pictures are vague as to where it goes. Reading the workshop manual is not much help, but I did see what appears to be a cable in the LHR of the engine area. So I have fitted a copper braided earth strap from a rear sump bolt to the bolt that secures the oil pressure valve bracket. This should reduce poor earthing problems, also the rear engine stabiliser rods should create an earth as well.
