Re: My car is shocking is yours?
black rubber is a conductor of electricity due to the amount of carbon content not an insulator. I believe this problem has been covered before in a thread. I seem to remember horn capacitors as being one problem area.

Re: My car is shocking is yours?
Tubman said:”After reviewing all the posts in this thread, I remember that I was only shocked in the MG during the summer when I blew the horn and had my arm out the window. (nobody does it anymore, but it was de rigueur back then). “
I was recently down in Houston driving and everybody was hanging their hand out the window but I don’t think they were waving at me |

Re: My car is shocking is yours?
In the 70's, my Dad welded a short length of chain from the frame of his combine to the ground under the theory it would shed static electricity and thereby keep dust from sticking to the windows of the cab.

Re: My car is shocking is yours?
It was simple static electricity. I know, "who let the cool kid in the room"? When I was a kid that was the saying we used for someone we knew who brought an idiot the idiot to the party.
Throughout my entire build process I have had cheap Walmart sleeping bags covering my front and rear seats. The seats have been recently reupholstered so don't want to ruin them. I removed the front bag today while adjusting my 94s just for testing. The shocking stopped when touching the door to get out after running the engine. I just don't get why it only shocked me after sitting in the car when running. Anyway, once I finish the build, the bags are going in the closet. I don't have to hang a rubber strap from the frame to the ground! I'll only use the bags when someone is going to ride with me that I don't care much for!
