[QUOTE="keep_hope_alive, post: 7366418, member: 576029"] nothing that was engineered from the factory to save your life should be used as a ground point. you have to sand away paint to make a good ground connection. that exposes metal and will result in rust rust weakens the metal and eventually results in that bolt location being weak - who wants to buy a car where the seat bolts or belt bolts are rusted? the ring terminal is a softer metal, meaning the bolt isn't factory tight. i don't compromise any safety related feature or structure, bolts for seats and seat belts were engineered and tested for that purpose. i never ground to seat belt bolts or seat mounting bolts. i also never ground to suspension bolts. i see it done all the time, and i cringe. make a hole, sand away metal, bolt the ground terminal, and coat with protector or silicone to help minimize and prevent rusting.
