Convenient Earth Point?
Hello folks,

I'm part way through designing a loom for a headlight wiring upgrade and spotlights. Part of this will see a reasonably substantial cable run from the battery positive to a busbar fuse box to be mounted on the inside of the left hand wing, just forward of the heater intake duct. Before I plan the same for a negative cable, can anybody point me to a convenient earth point around that same area that's easy to access? I don't want to run a cable to the engine.

Thanks. Darren

There are a few earth points on the bulkhead inside the engine bay.

Thanks chaps. The chassis under the battery box is a good call. I did look at the ones on the bulkhead but they're already quite congested and I'm not sure that the size of cable that I need would be an easy fit. Darren
