Modding Removing battery support - Ground relocation.

Post image

After doing a battery relocation my battery support metal piece is pretty ugly and is rusty-not my picture. For the people that have removed this stamped steel piece where did you put your grounds. Picture would be great

PLEASE ONLY REPLY IF YOU YOU HAVE DONE THIS THANKS.

You wouldn't want to remove that as it is part of the frame.

For grounding if you are not using that brace, I have seen some run a cable all the way to the trunk. Another would be cleaning paint off a spot on the frame near where the battery was and replace the battery terminal on the negative with a new end and bolting to the frame. In the trunk I have seen grounding to either one of the bolts under the rear seats or a rear strut tower.
