When connecting a ground to the engine – I am wondering if braided bonding straps and flexible wire (aka welding wire) are equally applicable?  

   

I am also wondering how much slack is appropriate regards length.  

   

For example if I measure 15” from firewall stud to engine stud – how much extra length should used to allow for engine movement?

   enough slack that there is no tension and/or

   sharp bends adjacent to end terminals.

   It isn't the enginge that moves a lot, it's the

   nice floppy wire that moves.  Add a couple or

   three inches and don't ask wire to change directions

   sharply next to the ends.
