[DeTomaso] A lug (right name?) through the front bulkhead for a battery g...

[JPEP33 at aol.com]

Being the simple minded Italian that I am what about this. Drill a hole in  
the firewall (bulkhead) in the area where the negative battery cable bolts 
up by  the battery. Then use a piece of 10 ga. wire with a proper size ring 
lug on one  end and a smaller ring lug on the other end. connect to the neg. 
ground post  next to the battery and run the other end to the ground stud 
under the dash by  the speedo. I would think that would be an excellent 
redundant ground.
