So my G100 ground was in very sorry shape. I believed it to be the problem causing a no start issue I have been experiencing. Unfortunately it wasnt the proble, but I thought Id share anyway. The picture shows how I set it up.
The materials I used were a Blue Seas bus bar (2300, included cover not shown), tefzel wire from mil spec wire 16, 14, 12, ancor marine cable for the 6ga ground cables, 3M High temp butt and ring connectors, and DSG heat shrink, tesa tape. The ground hardware is stainless steel 5/16 (bolt, washer, fender, star washer, nut, lug, star washer, nylock, nickel anti sieze).
I put the new ground "studs" right next to the old for the top one, and back a little and on the slope of the fender for the original g100, to encourage drainage (one major reason my oem ground was so badly corroded was because water would pool there when the hood was cracked for the trickle charger and it rained)
One interesting item of note is that where the wiring harness Y's from the G100 to the top ground, one of the larger 12ga wires that attaches to the top ground simply runs back down to the Y and to the g100 spot. I was able to simplify it a little with this set up. I wanted to be able to diagnose each of the ground wires separately.
Let me know if I should change anything.
