Default Grounding Point

I am fabricating a grounding kit. I need to know what grounding points other kits out there use:

Sun Hyper
APEXi
Racing Solutions
etc.

Pictures of grounding point locations is much appreciated.

When grounding to the chassis, u might wanna use a volt meter... In most cases ur going to have to remove some paint around which ever bolt ur goin to use for grounding (this creates a true grounding point whereas the paint blocks voltage from passing properly).

Go to the features section at the top of the post click on the tech section and go down to Grounding Kit DYI/Install and you got it made.

shinnku, use this as a reference, get out your volt meter and you find the points. This info can also be used for the TC.

shinkuu, go to the tech section like I told you earlier and use that one as a reference. Be sure you read the whole article. You can use the same points as the xb,xa, you can even pm the person who did the article and ask him. The article gives you the readings of the meter.

Word of caution: Don't ground to any bolts that might seem like critical bolts (i.e. suspension bolts, seatbelt bolts, etc...)
