Have you got wood? I do...

I'm open to proof that tyres conduct a significant amount to be considered as a conductor.

Handbrake cable...in theory yes it's a connection to the wheel...but not sure I want to stake my life on it...or my sons..I would expect resistance at best.

As above...20 year old plastic tanks can burst..

(carbon black) Rubber is a fairly good electrical insulator I reckon....they used rubber insulated cables for a good many years, and my tyres are not made of carbon although it may be an ingredient, f...

This has been a concern to me in on occasion....not sure a van can be earthed as such..not without driving a stake into the ground and running a cable to it from the body...I'm all ears on the topic...but I'm inclined to think if the earth wire in the hook up cable became detached , and the live got...

Wish I had summat to offer...I personally like the restoration type things with pics that are seen at classic car shows but I don't have such things to offer...also not sure the show is even about that!

Anybody know if this fits a standard Brit army frog bayonet sheath?
