I'm not interested in those ground stars so much since I don't want push-on spade ground connections at all. I want screw and eye terminal ground connections. Obviously one can not do more than about 3 wires on one screw very elegantly ..( put a star type lock washer between eye terminal and body of the van ) . I'd probably make a bus bar ground thing ....a well grounded bar with holes drilled into it, ground wires to that, if I had to have 'that many' ground wires in one place. I would at least move the headlight ground wires there to closer to the headlights. That helps anyway. if I had too many wires on the back of the early style fuse box, which I think you are talking about, I'd make another remotely mounted fuse box of a generic type for 'all that stuff' you must have added onto your stock fuse box. And with more modern spade type fuses too of course. The ceramic thing with metal strip type fuses are weak and archaic. On 7/2/2012 2:34 PM, JRodgers wrote: > I need to add another ground star.
