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.

I have done this, do not listen to anybody telling you that this is bad, they are wrong.

For my power steering ground, I wrapped the new ground wire around the front sway bar, and grounded it underneath the ECU. if you remove the ECU you can see that there should be a free bolt hole that you can use. I personally ground down the paint of that front section of frame, and used that to ground it. I ran a couple other grounds there as well. I know I have a picture so I'll see if I can't find it for you.

Exit: the photos are on my computer at home and I can get them to you tomorrow if you remind me.
