Subject:Strange broken ground strap on 86 Vanagon
From:digest Herbie Dave

Hi folks.
Today I was changing my cap and rotor when I looked over on  the driver's
side of the engine and noticed a large metal ground strap (I believe) that
was dangling onto the exhaust. Problem is I cannot seem to find a place where
it may have been attached to. It is bolted to the engine but I haven't a clue
where else it goes. Can anyone assist? Guess I need to add this to my list of
parts (exhaust pipe, instrument cluster (or just working odometer) and now
ground strap.  I wonder if this broken strap could be the cause of any
problems?
