How to install Grounding Kit? 4th Gen

Purchased a Cattman grounding kit, but no instructions! Searched the org, only found links for 5th gens, no 4th gens! Anyone have a clue or a link?

I did notice something about a grounding clip to place on my battery? Only received the gauge wire, some spacers and zip ties. Is the clip necessary?

Oh yeah my apologies if this was already addressed in some other post that I still can't locate lol.

Thanks cdq, guess I didn't search properly. Only thing is, I got 5 wires instead of 4. I'm going to go by activetuning's directions for now until otherwise.

And yeah I got those photos, but I was still confused, some of the photos are recognizable but there wasn't really any direction as to what picture was connected to what picture lol.

Hmmmm okay so the active tuning is out, Cattman's kit has 5 wires as opposed to the 4 on that installation guide, was hoping to at least ground 4 of the 5 wires BUT the wires aren't even the same length (Cattman comes with 3 short length and 2 very long length whereas active tuning looks like 4 short length.)

Argh.

Did you get the correct set then? How long are the wires and can they even reach the stock locations? If they can't reach the stock grounds then you might not have the right kit.

Yeah they're pretty long, and it does say 4th Gen on the box. I'm gonna look for a side battery terminal post like the VQ website and try it that way. Thanks for the responses CDQ and Kenny! Hopefully by this weekend it'll get fixed lol.

Why not just call Brian C and talk to him. Whenever I call to order or check on something, I find him available, helpful and friendly. I'm sure he'd clarify any installation questions.
