the final touch to make it really bomber........
for grounds, besides putting eye connectors on the ends of the wires........
and screwing them to clean metal, is to get those 'star lock washers'
.......the ones with about 8 sharp points on them where they bear against
the metal they're held to............put one of those between the eye
connector and the metal body you are grounding too..........
the metal points dig into clear bare metal that way.  Works great.
