dgjks6 6 #1 Posted January 22, 2011 I am about to put the first wire back on a c85 with a K181 I am working on. It is the ground wire on the engine mount. Two questions 1 - can I use stainlees bolts to attach the ground wire to the frame? 2 - do I need to remove paint before making the connection so it is metal to metal?

smoreau 658 #3 Posted January 22, 2011 :banghead: your on the right track. and if you want a good clean look you can touch up th paint after it's all bolted together. good clean conections will prevent problems later. good luck :thumbs: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rmaynard 15,936 #5 Posted January 22, 2011 When I disassembled my C-101, I found that a stainless steel star washer had been placed between the ground wire terminal and the engine block, as well as between the wire terminal and the frame. Anything that you can do to have a more complete ground. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
