Earth Point
Anyone drilled a hole through the firewall in the pasenger footwell and bolted studs in to get an earth point? I don't want to weld my chassis
with Studs.... having had it painted.... I know should have welded the studs in before...too late now!

Yes me. 8mmbolt (head in pass footwell) spring washer and plai nut done up tight and the the terminals onto the remaing bolt and a washer/locknut to
secure. Then a spray of white grease for protection.
If it looks wrong it probably is wrong.

Personally I just drilled a hole in the chassis and used a coach screw to clamp the earth strap onto the chassis. The coach screw is in contact with
the thread it produces so you get a good contact....
No problems yet....

Yep, my battery is down the side of the passenger footwell and the earth point is a short load bolted to the bulkhead. The same lead goes through to
the engine bay and is bolted to the engine block as well.
