Thanks, Steve. This is exactly the right picture. The wire C goes 
from one of the top steering gearbox flange bolts to the top clamp 
bolt that attaches the axle beam to the frame horns. Yes, this jumps 
around the rubber axle beam supports to make sure the axle beam is 
grounded.

This picture isÊèÈy in Chapter 7, section 10.5, Fig. 10.15 and 
represents how the cars from 68 to 70 were wired. Later cars were 
different, and we still have not reached a consensus on the earlier 
cars although I believe they were all the same up to 70. Thanks for 
finding this description.
