Dont have a pic but all it is a thin strap with 2 open type clips.One snaps on the sender the other on the steel fuel line.I just make them from a piece of 12 gauge wire an eyelet and a small hose clamp.Total cost about 20 cents.That and it works better than the OE strap.Rocky

Cool, thanks...I am familiar with what they look like, just was not certain as to how it mounted? On the fuel sending unit goes the rubber hose, on the oppisit side of the rubber hose is the fuel line which goes up front to the pump. Now, did the original ground strap mount just below the rubber hose on the sender itself where the hose goes on?
I was thinking of making my own also, but was going to try drilling a hole in the "extra material" of the fuel tanks outer flange area, pitting an eyelet on a wire and using a sheetmetal screw to fasten it and then mount the other end of the wire to the frame maybe? ...That should ground out the tank/sender, you think?
You need to ground the sender rather than the tank. It will probably work, but if you ground the tank, you're relying on the sending unit, lock ring, and tank to all have clean, corrosion free contact for the ground path to work. Better ground the sending unit directly.
