It doesn't have a mounting bracket. It sits snugly in compartment of a metal box. The compartment is lined with cardboard and it's filled with tar. So the ground connection to the winding is either a separate wire grounded to the metal box or connected to the core which would then be grounded to the box.
Question: Roughly what voltage would be expected at the (80) rectifier plates? I'm going to take some time to check the transformer voltages again.
