Reverse the procedure given for removal, noting the
following point-(on early
cars).
1.
Ensure that the distance collar abuts the
under-wing surface over the bright metal area around
the wing crown hole.
Note (Early cars) on re-fitting, ensure
that the bonding braid is fitted
between the distance collar and
valance earth.
Electrical bonding of the car
Bonding leads are fitted to minimise radiation from
the ignition system and prevent radio receiver
reception interference. Figures
M92 to M97 show
the positions where the tinned copper braided
bonding leads are fitted.
It is important that good metal-to-metal contact
is maintained between the bonding lead ends and the
components or part of body which they adjoin,
otherwise the function of the lead is lost.
