Hi all,

I was re-reading the aeroelectric section on grounding the other day and was left with a question. I am building an RV 8, rear mounted battery. I have grounded the battery to a longeron locally. I plan to put a brass bolt through the firewall, bring the engine ground strap to that and the forest of tabs ground on the other side. I got to wondering if the electrical connection of the firewall to the longeron is going to sufficiently ground the battery. Has this been the standard arrangement for everyone with a rear mounted, locally grounded battery?

Regards,

Michael Wynn

Yes, that's no problem . . .
