Battery post. If you mount the lug of the wire on the top of the bolt it fits perfectly inside the bolt bracket.

Monster Cables do rock. I haven't found anything better for an electric guitar in the last 8 years. You probably have the best quality grounding kit in the world.

GroundingGear™
skeleton_cru:
I'll drop a set off in the mail for you. BTW, the battery terminal lug is labelled and ground down to fit in that slot. Also, I noticed that you didn't move your other set of factory grounds to the right hole to meet the H-G cluster at the front of the engine. It makes a bit of a difference, so you might want to do that.[img]/w3timages/icons/smile.gif[/img]

GroundingGear™ Decals
<font color=blue>I'm getting several requests from previous GroundingGear™ clients. I'd like to send out a set of decals to you all. Getting them to you all might turn out to be a headache however.
To cover my costs of postage, since a self-addressed stamped envelope won't make it back to the US from Canada, for any previous GroundingGear™ clients could anyone requesting a set of decals please send $1 and a self addressed envelope? No need to PM me, and I'll just send out the decals when I get your envelope., I probably wouldn't be very concerned for a few requests, but my accountant says the bookkeeping on this will otherwise be a nightmare sending out decals for previous delivered kits. Also, it's time consuming to look back for previous client addresses, etc. I'll include decals in every kit from this point forward. Thanks for understanding.
Or, if you're in the neighbourhood, just drop by and I'll set you up with a set, we'll chat over an espresso or something![img]/w3timages/icons/smile.gif[/img]

Re: GroundingGear™
That'll do it. See if you notice the difference. Many do.

Re: Hyper-Ground (Earthing) Kit Resource Thread
Since one of the comments about this giant thread is that ppl have to read through several hours of posts in order to see what Hyper-Grounding does, I've finally compiled feedback from users of GroundingGear™. These are from posts on the H-G thread and from PMs and direct feedback that I've received, and since no one has so far objected to me quoting them, I include most of them here:Hyper-Ground FAQ and Feedback

Re: Hyper-Ground (Earthing) Kit Resource Thread
I got my GroundingGear™ kit from Gordon a while back, and I just installed it today. Here are some preliminary comments:
After the install, my car definitely feels smoother. It idles lower and shifts a little more predictably at WOT.
I'm not sure yet if it starts quicker or not. The first time I started it, it wasn't any faster. But then tonight it did start faster. I'll monitor this for a while and see if maybe the car was just warmer this evening or something.
I did not notice a difference in the manumatic shift mode. It still takes a long time for it to shift. Note that I put wire #7 on in the temporary spot. I'll see what happens when I get a chance to move it. I'm also not 100% sure I installed it in the right temporary location. I'll post a picture of it when I get a chance, I forgot to take a picture of that one.
Comments on the kit and installation instructions:
The kit looks great! Very good workmanship.
You list the tools required as "Metric wrenches (assorted socket, box end, etc.)"
I used a 10mm socket, socket wrench, and two extensions. I also used a small razor knife to cut into the rubber for the battery. And then I used a torque wrench for step 4 (yeah, I could have done it without the wrench, but you listed the spec, so I used it). I also used a flat tipped screwdriver to remove more of the battery cover.
On step 2, I would make a note as to which end of cable #3 to connect.
On step 3, I was able to do it without removing the hood sensor. I can see how removing the bracket would be easier for some people, but it worked for me.
For the +1 wire, I would make it shorter. I had to bend it a fair amount, and it seemed like it would work better without the bend. I have attached a picture of it. Did I install it in the right place?
Note that all of these are minor comments on an overall great kit!

Re: Hyper-Ground (Earthing) Kit Resource Thread
Gord, I finally was able to get my kit installed yesterday. It looks great and I can definitely tell some differences. My car idles much smoother now and is more responsive.
The kit is great quality. Thanks!

Re: Hyper-Ground (Earthing) Kit Resource Thread
Gentlemen, thanks for the feedback.
Dave:
One end of the # 3 cable is marked "B" and the other says "3", so I thought it would be clear enough and didn't want to make the instructions over inclusive, however I will review this. The +1 wire is sized to work in either front of engine location, so it may be seem slightly longer than necessary if you use the left location as the ground cluster. I'll add "miscellaneous tools" to the instructions.
I look forward to your continued feedback.
