I have the original grounding strap (which is still in great shape) on my bugeye. The problem? The hole on the strap is 7/16", while the bolt is much smaller. Was there a special bolt that went through this area originally? If so, anyone know where to get one? I know I can braze the area and re-drill if I need to, but I am trying to keep things original.Thanks for your help,
Kevin

I said the wrong thing again, sorry. I meant the negative battery strap that grounds to the body.

Possibly a generic replacement strap - I'd use a washer that covers the hole.
