How many of you ran a dedicated ground from rear battery location to the firewall/panel area vs just a local airframe ground next to the battery tray?
I'm planning a firewall ground of the engine case to the forests of tabs there that have a through-stud holding them together back-to-back, and local ground of battery to battery box behind the baggage bulkhead. A separate ground wire forward seems like needless weight and $. Missing anything?
Toilet hold down bolt is brass, fully threaded. Cut off head and you should be good to go.
Even has brass nuts in bag.
I just installed a new toilet last week and was surprised to find that the hold down bolts were only brass plated steel when I cut it down.

Looking for a source of 1/4" threaded bolt to pass through the firewall. One side will connect to the battery ground and the other side will connect to a strap attached to the engine mount. What source do you suggest for that threaded rod?
why not ground your engine to the engine mount? there are actually ears on the engine mount for this purpose.
Dan - i read the article, which is interesting. My question is, did he really mean you can?t assume that the engine is grounded just by its connection to the engine mount? There is an ear on the engine mount - i ran a strap from the case to the ear - I?m not just relying on the mount itself.
Thanks
