Is it OK to attach the welder ground anywhere on the car. I'm welding in a new front trunk floor today. The engine and battery are out of the car. I thought I saw a posting stating that the current could be transferred to the wiring harness.
Thanks |

Accepted practice is to place the ground as close to the work as is practical. If that's the rear bumper, so be it. There are ground points a bit closer, I suspect. Run a clean bolt into a convenient threaded hole in the body, run a nut down against the (clean) sheetmetal, and connect your ground there. The Cap'n
