Hey guys I was doing a quick frame inspection before a shake down this weekend/ coating the frame and saw a ground, I accidentally bumped it and it cracked because it was so frail. Anyone know what this ground is for specifically and what replacement wire I would buy? Would be doing both sides. Thanks

Ground strap from frame to the body. You could make a new one, or buy a replacement, I think I have seen them in the "HELP" section at auto parts stores. Your going to have to clean the rust real good at the connection points to get a good ground.
Should look like this:

Thank! The photo didn’t work but now that I know the exact name I’ll grab two replacement straps.
