[Larry Forman]

The grounding straps are those multiple braided straps that bridge from the 
engine shroud to the body sheet metal and they are right above the rubber 
engine seal they bridge over.  They act to ground that upper sheet metal 
plane to the body and prevent it from acting like a large flat antenna.
