I recently did had to do this on my '66 when I replaced the steering wheel. The center column is not grounded. Found out a couple of months ago on this list that the factory had this jumper. It made me feel better 'cause I thought I had "rigged" my horn when I'd added the jumper. I used 16 gauge over the rag joint. Works great.

Can't be that easy, can it? What gauge would you recommend; 10, 12, 14? Now if I can just find a couple of eye connectors to fit over the 3/8"(?) bolts.

Since the steering column/rag joint turns, where would a ground strap go? Maybe I'm just confused on the terms used.
