I have a book on automotive electrical systems and the author says, "The braided strap also dampens out some radio-frequency interference that otherwise might be transmitted through standard stranded wiring due to the skin effect." There's also an accompanying photo with caption that reads, "braided ground strap used to ground the hood to reduce radio interference" and it shows the ground strap running from the hood to the firewall.
I'm always looking for ways to improve my radio reception and sound so I'm wondering if these statements are true, and is it worthwhile for me to add a braided ground strap from my hood to the firewall? Do you think it would make a noticeable improvement?
Thank you,
Ed
