I have just finished moving the battery to the front trunk. so far I have the ground cable bolted through a pre drilled hole in the front trunk. I scraped away some paint/coating to get to bare metal, for a good ground. So far it all seems to work fine. I just don't feel like I should leave it like that.
Is there a proper way to prepare the sheet metal/bolt/wire to prevent corrosion from the current or moisture? OR... should I just coat it over with a protectant spray now that it is done? Thanks, Bob. |

It's not a bad idea or overkill IMO to run a large cable back to the engine, 'specially if you're planning a nice sound system. The added grounding will help prevent unwanted noise in your system if the other connections are correct also. That's another reason they make grounding kits with lots of add-on connections. Helps all the electricity to get where it's supposed to for the engine also....
