3000m Earthing Points?

[Erich Stahler]

All I can find is the two pictured brackets, anyone know were they attach to the chassis and the whereabouts of any additional ones? The wiring diagram shows all the relevant earths for each component in the circuit but being a schematic doesn't help me find the physical locations, also presumably many earths are grouped together where actually attached to the chassis?

The two brackets in the picture bolt at the rear of the car just in front of the fuel tank. They go through the body and the chassis. They are the earthing points for all the rear lights etc etc. the main earth bolts directly to the chassis just to the side of the battery. You also have more earth points at the front of the chassis for the head lights etc .

I have two earthing points either side of the engine, the one pictured must be where the negative lead of the battery earths to:



and one right at the front near the wishbone mounting points, which must be for the lights and cooling fans?

Take a new lead with a 1/4 eyelet and use the rear brake three way bolt as an earth. OE design of the rear shell mount bracket would of included metal blocks that go in between the shell and chassis at that point, (you still see this in pre 75 cars) along with an anti-rattle washer that would gouge into the chassis on the outside!! but as with all things TVR they evolved out of using the metal blocks and packed the gap with as required 1/4 pieces of rubber which then may or may not exude out, leading to earth failures.
