grounding my 95 max
i noticed my ground plate was rusty and i have been having hard starts so i pulled it off to clean it, i cleaned it and while i was tightening it back on the bolt snapped.. where can i relocate my ground wire that will be the best???
#3
i have ground wire, i want to relocate the ground to a diffrent spot than where it is stock because the bolt snapped in the hole and my car is stuck cant start it.. i need to relocate it perminatly
#6
is the wire corroded all to h*** or did you buy a new one? Just tapp a new hole. aand while your grounding stuff... clean everything, use terminal protactant, and dont under/over torque anything.. snapping bolts isnt fun i did that once.. wasa PITA

i noticed the holes arent threaded.. do i have to make threads by threading a bolt threw and tightening it slowly? or helicoil? how do i go about making that a threaded spot for my ground?? thanks in advanced

There are quite a few places you can run a ground cable to, one of which is one of the bolts that hold the stock ground location to the block. That, or a bellhousing bolt, pretty much any bolt on the block or the heads.

Those spots on my tranny are threaded. There's a lot of dirt in those holes. Get something like this

and move it around in one of the holes. I could feel the screw hooking to the threads in the hole.
Mine is a 95 with manual tranny if that matters.

I broke the same bolt last summer. I believe there's a hole just above it where
a tab from the grounding plate extends part way into the hole. (Kind of a positioning
tab) I found that hole was tapped and just put a new bolt into that hole.
I think I had to splice on a couple inches of wire and a new lug to reach the upper
hole ,which was maybe 2 inches above the hole with the broken bolt.

yes! i noticed that today, i dont know what kinda bolt tho, i got a coarse thread not fine thread.. i got it to go in a few turns by hand but i dont wanna crank it on if its not right. i got the 5/16ths 1 inch long coarse thread.. i ended up getting new cable tonight cause i saw my stock is too short by a few inches, PITA!!

Judging by the photo the threads are probably 8x1.25.
5/16 is about 8mm, so that's probably what it is (8x1.25). Surely you can find some spare bolts somewhere, or just grab some from a hardware store/auto parts store.
