I picked one from across the top of the tank for the CD changer. Depending on location, lights ?

Thats true, I was thinking I would have to go back to the chassis.

Its not actually that difficult to run a wire over the wheel arch into the B post area and along the passeneger sill area to the battery.
Assuming that you will have to bring a feed along any ,so why not pull both pos and neg in together?

The fuel tank is only earthed via the tiny guage sender wire. Take it from the bolt holding the fuel pump, or any chassis bolt.

Don't forget to check the voltage (new supply) with the new earth .. if you are seeing < 12 volts then it's not a good earth.

I once assumed the seat belt anchorage bolt would be good (in to out rigger) but it only gave 5 volts..

Get under the tank and use the real chassis earth , cleaning it up at the same time makes it worthwhile IMHO

I would not breach the inside/outside bodywork anymore than absolutely necessary due to water ingress & maintainability.
