Andre3000 55 Report post Posted October 2, 2012 Only e30's that come original with a battery in boot have the grounding bracket. To convert mine i bought a short battery earth cable and bolted it to a secure point in the battery well. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
APT 179 Report post Posted October 2, 2012 Just checked mine doesn't have the bracket, will have to look into the wheel well. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

e30ftw 396 Report post Posted October 2, 2012 When I did mine I got a slightly longer cable and used it on the rear bumper bolt, just sand some metal around it so it has good contact with the metal. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
