In cabin ground locations?

[Hammer40k]

I’m sure this will open a can of worms, but I finally bit the bullet and ordered the scrub kings under seat compressor mount for my ARB twin compressor.

Has anyone found any suitable ground locations for electronics behind the seat o. The super crew? I know some folks have use the seat belt brackets but I’m not sure how good that would be. Hoping to not have to: 1) drill through the floor to tap the classic or 2) route the ground through the firewall up to the chassis ground by the battery.

im already having to route two 8awg power cables through the firewall.

thabks!

Anything behind the fuse/kick panel that is metal...all of my CB/SW radios, siren and other electrical items are grounded to the steel frame supports under the dash...

Thanks for that tip! I’ll give it a try!

I found several screws threaded to this frame and simply loosened them and put the negative spade under then tighten...

With high amps like that you'll want a good chunk of metal so your ground doesn't heat up. There is an existing ground point behind the drivers side kick panel where Ford has you ground the OEM tow brake package. It's a pretty hefty chunk of metal there. Ideally you'll want your ground line as short as possible.
