Definitely a black shielded copper cable ,bolted to the gearbox housing .My gbox breather is located up under the bonnet along with my diff and transfer case breathers on extended lines .

Its not original. Just get a new cable and replace it then to anywhere on the body.

In the post window, there is a little square with a tree inside it ............here......click that and select the image/attachment and then download it. Sorry the 'here ' was positioned below the picture framed tree!

Standard or not. Just buy a new earth cable from your local Supercrap, Repco etc and bolt it on. Doesn’t matter if you can’t find where the old one went. As long as it’s from the gearbox to the body it will be fine.
