Help - Earth to Gazza!
I'm about to start fitting the wiring loom and was looking for advice on the best way to provide an earth connection....
Is drilling a hole in the chassis (Luego Velocity), fitting a rivnut and bolting the appropriately terminated wire to the rivnut / chassis - a good
idea?
Just a bag o' rusty spanners

on mine, ive drilled thru and welded a bolt into the back, so that the thread protrudes. Might not be too clever if the chassis is painted or
powdercoated though! works well though.
Beware! Bourettes is binfectious.

i think a welded bolt is better than a rivnut
rivnuts can sometimes come loose or rotate in their hole which wont make good contact

Weld a nut or bolt to the chassis, and take the engine earth strap and the battery negative to this nut or bolt
