Footwell stud on TD5 bulkhead
I noticed a funny little button on the underside of the driver's side footwell on my Td5 bulkhead whilst repairing it. I wondered what it was at the time but have just noticed it again whilst cleaning up post galvanising. After a bit of looking at pictures online, it seems it should actually be a stud, mine has just been cut/snapped off.

Does anyone know what it is used for? Highlighted in the below photo from ebay:

Earth strap cable to front bulkhead rigger goes there. There’s a stud and then a rivet type nut on the bulkhead rigger face.


Like so:

Cheers, must have not had anything fitted on mine when i dismantled it then as there was no earth link there. Makes sense though. Will fit a new riv-nut to the bulkead and something on the chassis for an earth link.

On aftermarket chassis the strap is long enough to reach to the bulkhead footwell mounts if they’re the through bolt style. Otherwise it goes where that square plate is welded on you drivers bulkhead rigger.
