So I installed the new gas tank that the previous owner included in the deal with the '75 Scamp I bought last Fall. I now need a ground strap. I ordered one but it was the short one (3 1/2") - I need the longer one. I rigged 1/2 a speaker wire with allegator clips for a temp. Any ideas on what to use for a more permanent ground? Or do you have an old longer ground strap you wanna get rid of?
 
When I didn't have a ground strap on my Newport, I wrapped a wire around the sender's tube, under a hose clamp, and ran the other end into the trunk to a good body ground. Probably more solid than the factory's clip.
