I found htese 2 bad photos of the engine earthing point:
Am I correct that it attaches to the lowest 3/8" bolt attaching the gearbox to the bracket on the engine on hte LH side?
Anyone knows the correct length?

It could not matter less where you attach it to : as long as there is some salck in the strap and it is securely attached at both ends it will be perfect for the job it has to do

Your position is correct. It goes between one of the two bolts holding the left hand engine frame to the body, and the lower bolt holding the engine bracket to the bell housing.
From the look of it it's a hex head 3/8" bolt 1/ 3/8" long, and the same length as the other 3 bolts.
