14-inch braided copper battery ground strap with crimped, tinned terminals on both ends. A universal-fit replacement for the corroded, frayed, or undersized ground straps that cause hard starting, dim lights, and erratic electrical behavior on classic vehicles. EMPI part #00-9469-0.

Why the ground strap matters more than most people realize

On a classic VW (or any older vehicle), the battery ground strap carries every amp the starter draws — typically 150 to 300+ amps during cranking. When the strap is undersized, corroded, or has loose terminals, the resistance climbs and the starter motor sees a fraction of the voltage it should. Symptoms: slow cranking, clicking solenoid, dim dash lights when you turn the key, and gradually worsening starting in cold weather.

Most factory ground straps were never replaced in 50+ years of service. A new 14" braided strap restores full current flow and fixes problems that get misdiagnosed as bad starters, weak batteries, or bad solenoids more often than not.

Why braided instead of solid cable

Braided strap construction handles vibration and flex far better than a solid copper cable. On an air-cooled VW where the engine moves on rubber mounts, the ground path between the battery and the chassis (and between the chassis and the transmission) flexes constantly. A solid cable will work-harden and crack at the terminals; a braided strap won't.

Specifications

  • Length: 14 inches
  • Construction: Braided copper
  • Terminals: Crimped ring terminals at both ends
  • Application: Battery-to-chassis ground, chassis-to-engine ground, or any high-current ground connection
  • Part number: 00-9469-0

Fitment

  • Vintage Porsche, BMW, Mercedes, and other classic European
  • Hot rods, restorations, custom builds

Note on length: 14" is the standard length for VW battery-to-body grounds. Measure your existing strap before ordering if your application is non-standard.

FAQ

Where does this go on a VW?
On most air-cooled VWs, the battery negative terminal grounds to the body via a strap, and then a separate strap grounds the engine/transmission to the chassis. Both should be checked when chasing electrical problems — a clean battery ground is useless if the engine ground is bad.

Is 14 inches the right length for a Beetle battery ground?
Yes for most installations. The Beetle battery is under the rear seat on most years, and the ground strap runs to a nearby chassis bolt — 14" is the typical run.

Will this work for 6V?
Yes. Cable gauge and length are determined by current and distance, not voltage. A 6V starter actually draws more amps than a 12V starter (to produce the same power), so good grounds are even more critical on 6V cars.

Can I use it for the engine-to-chassis ground?
Yes, that's one of its most common uses. The transmission-to-chassis or engine-to-chassis ground on a classic VW is often a corroded, undersized factory strap that's a prime upgrade target.

Do I need to clean the mounting points?
Absolutely. A new strap on a corroded chassis bolt is half the job. Bare the metal to shiny steel, install the new strap, and use a thin coat of dielectric grease over the connection to prevent future corrosion.

Matcha
Flavor Name: Culinary, Size: 1.06 oz (Pack of 1)
I haven’t decided if I really like Matcha, as I got this, just to find that out. I find that the packaging is interesting, and it is best, probably, to store it in the package it comes in. It has a mild flavor, and I am just making tea with it, as I don’t bake any more. It is a bright green powder with a smooth, mild taste, and in a clever package.

A Premium Matcha Experience for the True Connoisseur
Flavor Name: Culinary, Size: 1.06 oz (Pack of 1)
I recently had the pleasure of trying the Jade Leaf Matcha Organic Premium Ceremonial Grade Matcha Green Tea Powder, and it truly lives up to its reputation as a high-quality product. As someone who enjoys matcha regularly, I was eager to compare this offering to others on the market, and I have to say I was very impressed. The first thing I noticed was the vibrant green color of the powder. It’s a rich, deep green that is indicative of the quality and freshness of the leaves. When prepared, the tea has a smooth, silky texture and a natural sweetness that makes it enjoyable both on its own and as an addition to smoothies or lattes. I appreciate that this matcha doesn’t have the bitterness that can sometimes accompany lesser-quality varieties, making it a perfect choice for ceremonial use or a relaxing daily treat. As a ceremonial grade matcha, it’s clear that Jade Leaf has carefully sourced and processed the tea leaves. The flavor is balanced and complex, with grassy, vegetal notes followed by a subtle sweetness. It has the perfect level of umami, which is an essential characteristic of a high-quality matcha. I’ve tried a variety of brands, but this one stands out for its consistency and superior taste. The packaging is also noteworthy. The resealable bag ensures the matcha stays fresh, which is crucial for preserving its delicate flavor and antioxidants. It’s easy to scoop out the right amount without making a mess, and the instructions on the back are clear and helpful for those new to preparing matcha. Whether you’re a seasoned matcha drinker or new to the world of green tea, this Jade Leaf matcha provides a top-notch experience. I highly recommend it for anyone looking for an authentic, high-quality matcha that delivers excellent taste and a sense of calm and clarity with every sip.

Not an affordable option for organic matcha
Flavor Name: Culinary, Size: 1.06 oz (Pack of 1)
Great product however very misleading on the serving amount per package. For a full flavor robust cup of matcha from this product you will get an average of 15 servings. There are much better affordable options available.

It has no sugar
Flavor Name: Culinary, Size: 1.06 oz (Pack of 1)
Very matcha taste and texture. I used this to create a matcha butter cream for my enchanted garden themed cupcakes and it was so delicious. There was no spiciness and I was able to use the rest to make matcha for the kids so I definitely got a good value for my money. I did not have any digestive problems using this. As I did mix it with ripple non dairy milk
