| Hey all, just wondering where you ground your negative terminal to. I have positive to the starter but where does the neg go? To the nose cone then the braided strap to the chassis or to the chassis then the braided strap to the nosecone? Hope that makes sense. Thanks. |

Does not matter..... As long as connections are clean and tight it functions the same...

I like using one of the old body mount holes by the rear shocks. I make a stud out of a bolts and screw it in, then use a nut to "lock" it in place. Then attach your ground wire from the battery. but anyplace on the chassis is good.
