I am doing some restoration on my 57 but am somewhat inexperienced.  Could someone please tell me exactly where the ground straps are, in addition to the main battery to block ground?  I know McVey's sells 3 for a 57.  Pictures would help.  Thanks.  Ken

There were ground straps from the engine and from the exhaust I think to the frame.
Not sure exactly why but the engine is rubber mounted to I guess it helps to make sure that all of the engine devices have a solid ground.
