I know that the engine mount on the RH/drivers side has two earth leads bolted to it - the braided main engine-chassis cable and the black pedal box earth wire. Which of the 3 engine mount bolts do these attach to?
On mine currently both are under the front (ie toward the front of the engine) bolt but it looks like the pedal box wire maybe ought to be on the back bolt.
What's the normal/standard position for these?
Cheers

Re: Earth leads on engine mount
I just cleaned mine tonight while doing an oil change. Mine are attached to the rear most bolt, or, as you face the engine mount from the right wing - the left hand bolt. Hope thats not confused you more Guess it doesn't matter which one realy.
Cheers, Phil

Re: Earth leads on engine mount
Many thanks for that Phil.
I know electrically it doesn't make any difference. I guess I was a bit concerned about the cable getting a bit stretched with the movement of the engine.
