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 i s 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 i s important that good metal-to-metal contact
i s maintained between the bonding lead ends and the
components or part of body which they adjoin,
otherwise the function of the lead i s lost.
