Trunk (boot) ground location & wiring
Posted: Wed May 06, 2009 4:47 am
My car appears to have a few modifications over the years, including a cut off flat grounding strap artifact under one of the diff mounts and a heavy ground wire to the front of the car. Manual seems to indicate rear body mounting bolt.
Where should the battery be grounded?
If the body mounting bolt is the correct spot, do I need a flat ground strap or would a round one fit, and what length should I purchase?
Is it sufficient to have the ground strap securely under the head of the selected frame bolt, or do I have to scrape paint off my lovely new frame and somehow run the wire separately outside the fibreglass?
I am working with just the frame at this point as the body is out for paint, so any help appreciated.
thx
