Houston, we have a ground

["content22207" <brobertson@xxxx>]

First, the giveaway: while cleaning up workbench today found two
switch illumination bulbs (headlight and hazard), one brand new and
one 15K miles. I of course don't use (after almost burning car up). If
anyone going to SEDOC wants, let me know (contact off list). First
come=first served.

Speaking of SEDOC: I still have bunches of NAPA 1.25" heater hose.
Can't even remember my cost, but think it's about $3 a foot. If anyone
wants to buy some at SEDOC, let me know before and I'll bring along.
Don't want to bring whole big roll, so be sure to contact before.

Now the important part: despite despicable weather
(rain/sun/rain/sun...), grounded fuel pump at frame visible through
access panel. Realized ground point would be exposed to mega water (I
have a splash guard to route windshield plenum drain water away from
pump & sender. Works better than little hose because won't get
clogged), so is actually a 1" tall post made from threads of 10-24
machine screw. Post is tapped into frame and sealed with 3/4" washer
in bed of silicone. Ground wire is sandwiched between two nuts at top
of post. All hardware is stainless of course. Not only will this solve
future pump electrical problems, but I now have a convenient ground
for ice pick light diagnoses up front!
