Hi! Troy,
Installations are different but my battery ground is to a crank case
stud, away from other electrical activity and certainly directly
attached not needing to have continuity through anything else. If I
recall it is via the negative side of the starter solenoid.
(Unfortunately I can't access my 'plane at present.) However IMHO your
choice of location is right ..least voltage drop possible through
shortest cables. I also used multicore welding cables with powerfully
crimped terminals.

Hi Folks,
At what point on the engine is the most common location
for the battery to engine ground? And do I need a seperate ground from
the firewall ground to the engine? My battery will be on top of the
starboard footwell. I found a bolt that holds one of the brackets for
the ignition coils on top of the block but the closest is one of the
studs at the rocker cover/head. I didn't want to disturb this one
though.
