Quick Yes Or No - Is This Earthing Point OK?!

[Zeemax_Mini]

Just need a really quick yes or no really, I've just followed the DIY oil pressure sender guide, but wasn't quite sure where I was meant to fit the new earth (new type sender). I've run the earth lead to a hole on the plate attached to the starter motor (see pic), is this alright?

Cheers!

Bugger - was hoping you'd say that was perfect! When you say mounting plate, could you describe a bit better where you mean?

Cheers!

ETA - what's the worst that could happen if I've earthed it badly to that starter motor hole, i.e is it ok to drive this evening and earth to the new point tommorow?

sorry sorry im a bit blind that should be ok where it is but when you got a bit more time i would earth it to chassis at worst if its not earthing properly the gauge/light wont work ive not had s6 but dont worry

It's fine, you will have to have a fkoff big earth strap to the engine or it wouldn't turn the starter so the engine is as good as, if not better than the chassis.

Haha thanks - I just couldn't see anywhere available on the chassis to earth it, and didn't want to start drilling! Are there places near the starter on the chassis which I could use as an earth?

Thanks for the help!

as i said not an s6 man but if that switch is on the battery side then the battery is the best if not then towards the front should be an earth point but i will leave this to someone with a s6
