[Roadsters] starter ground

[Pat]

Tim,

The ground wire to the frame goes onto one of the starter mounting 
bolts. The flat wire on the solenoid is what takes battery power to the 
starter motor itself to start the engine. The solenoid performs two 
functions on our cars, it mechanically engages the starter drive with 
the flywheel and it is a switch that sends power to the starter to turn it.

Peace,
Pat

Thusly spake Tim:
> I can see on the starter where the positive batter cable connects and right next to that is another connection with a thin flat wire coming out that runs to the other section of the starter. 
>
> Is this (other) connection from where I should run a ground strap to the frame?
>
> And if I need to replace the starter, is that piece of metal on the frame that can be removed the piece I see straight out from the positive terminal? The piece shaped more like a rhombus or parallelogram? (some one said triangle shaped.)

> Thanks
