I'm wondering if there is a need for a faston multipoint grounding strip on the engine side of the firewall if using the Garmin engine monitoring kit. Do the EGT, CHT, etc probes need a discrete ground for each?

Most EFIS vendor supplied harness will have a ground wire in the bundle going back to the EFIS if required.  Both egt and cht cables are two conductor and terminate at the EFIS.



Besides the engine and alternator grounds which can't use faston connectors, I think I only had a couple faston connectors used for grounding.    It really will depend on what devices you've installed forward of the firewall.



I used a B&C forest of tabs with tabs on both side of the firewall.    The cabin side is 100% full and the engine side only has a couple used.

I too used the B&C Forrest of tabs, but I only used it on the interior of the plane.  I think there were 2-4 grounds I needed FWF and I just ran them back into the interior.
