Relocate Ground/Negative Post In Engine Compartment
 

Hi,

I have a 2010 SS and I am installing a CAI cold air intake. This particular unit is enclosed and the Ground/Negative Post winds up inside the box. I'm already relocating the w/w reservoir and want to move the post. I searched the web but only found a reference to it in a thread about where in the engine compartment it is located, did not find a replacement part.

Has anyone relocated this post? How did you do it, what's involved?

Cheers,
Mick

You can relocate it anywhere you want. It just has to have contact with bare (unpainted) metal. For example, you could make a ground by drilling a hole in the strut tower and putting a bolt and nut through it. If it is the one that screws on/off, you can weld the appropriate sized nut somewhere and screw it into that.

I'm doing welding under my hood and I ground off some paint on the passenger side strut tower to clamp the welder's ground cable to. I'm welding spots about 3 feet from where the ground clamp is. That just shows you how a conductive the metal is. Works perfectly. One of the last things I'm doing is repainting the bay.

Look at post 7 in this thread:

Hey, thanks. They relocated the ground/negative post next to the old air box stud. But the Roto-Fab W/W relocate kit I installed uses that extra stud to mount the W/W fluid reservoir. But like Blake-B said you can relocate it just about anywhere you can get to a conductive part of the body.
