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.

I have a photo of 19356 rudder cable bonding. Email me and I'll send
it to you.
