DIY Grounding Kit - Question

Hi All,

Ive seen all the posts about grounding kits, and to never to connect to the negative terminal itself (before the current sensor). I assume use/start the at the same ground spot as the OEM Grounding Wire (Post Current Sensor)?

Anyone know the size of bolt for the engine grounds? Mine are old and crusty.

Thank you!

Also if you can put a 8 guage cable thru the Current Sensor....does that allow it to "not bypass" the sensor? Just curious

I pulled my grounding kit through the current sensor and then also connected it at the same chassis point.

Perfect - Sounds like as long as it goes thru the sensor its good?

So connect at the terminal, then the chassis then branch out to the other grounds?

Many Thanks!

I don’t have any aftermarket grousing cable to the battery terminal, only to the chassis as the starting point.

I suppose it’s fine to connect it to the battery terminal if it’s also through the sensor. But not confident.

got it! Any change the have a picture? I’m stuck on why it does thru the sensor if it’s using the chassis as a starting point…. As it would be after the sensor anyway

sorry I miss spoke. You are right, it would t make sense connecting at the chassis point.

I do have it connected at the battery terminal and through the sensor
