Steve, Mike,

Again, I appreciate your answers. It's strange, though - the grounding
in my 1984 ASW19 is clearly home-made. I wonder why Schleicher would
do the -20s, and not the -19s.

I have no reason to think the bonding in my 19b (19356) was not
factory original. The bonding on my 28 certainly is. Some Schleicher
factory stuff looks home made. Don't let that make you think it's
not factory original. Glider manufacture is a cottage industry. Didn't
you notice the German garden hose fittings in the water ballast
system?

How Schleicher got away with joining ballast valve control cables
with electrical terminal blocks in the 28 is beyond me.

I may have some photos that show the bonding in 19356. I'll check
tonight.
