[Tigers] Ground Strap and Battery to body Negative Ground Strap

[Ron Fraser]

Joel
	The ground strap and battery negative terminal to ground are both
braided with HD connectors.

Battery is a group 27 - the original battery was Lucas with 6 screw in cell
covers with vent nipples and a vent tube.

I have an Interstate battery in my Tiger.  You would have to be going for
totally bone stock to want a Lucas battery and they are expensive - $200 -
$300 range for a repro AGM battery.

This web site has those batteries and they also list cables for the Sunbeam
but I'm not sure there is a picture for them.

British Wire Inc lists the braided cable but I don't know what they have for
connectors.

All

The starter bolt to body\frame ground strap and battery to body ground strap
in trunk - these should be 'braided' cables as opposed to cable with rubber
covering?  Any particular 'correct' type of connectors should be used?

The battery itself should be group 27?  Any particular brands accepted to be
'correct'?

Thanks
Joel Martin
