Hi Guys,Re: 1961 XKE 3.8 (LHD) I have another question. Please can someone show me the location 1961/62/63 Battery Earth/Ground lead, body connection, where to bolt it? in a picture? I have non idea where it should be as my Body Shell was stripped when I acquired it. Everything was removed by a previous mechanic, with no record. So Pam starting from scratch with a half box of bits.

My 62 OTS LHD has it bolted to a welded in nut at the end of the Driver foot well. Left side sitting behind the seat. See pic

A superior though I think non-stock location for the Primary and first Ground is to the Engine block and then routed via a ground strap to the chassis from the Eng.
I will be changing mine.
