ok.... i grounded the

1) bulk head
2) firewall
3) distributor
4) engine head

but the Alternator ... it's too low below the engine there la... i can't reach in, even if can, no space to twist the spanar and unscrew the nuts/screw...

i was advised by huakenny to just place the grounding kit in the long 12mm screw at the alternator there, and take a nut n screw it in place....

but all the nut i try also kenot fit the long screw at the alternator there....

n i cannot open any screw on the alternator ... :frown:

what can i do?

Forget about tieing the alternator scrw and the cable lugs. Cable ties!??! He must be joking (no offence ijoe).

Get a nut from kenny.. or if you happened to come to Seri Kembangan.. get one free from me lar.. Any hardware shop will have 12mm nuts lar.. otherwise, ask for one sample, test it out first in front of the shop.

tnx guys.. reli appreciate the kindness.. if i reli reli cant find the nut i will try ask u all ..
regret la buy from ijoe, (no offense ijoe, but this is reli wat i experience) .. his aftersales help.. see like he dun care already lepas jual barang.. somemore he said "no prob!" when i ask "confirm can use cable tie to tie the cable n alternator? battery current can go thru?" ... :thumpdown: tak tau la... last time when i ask him whether its RM38 including installation in PM, he said yes. but when meet up that time he say the engine bay too hot la bla bla.
my mistake la buy from wrong ppl i guess.. feel like i kena con.

so anybody that next time wan to buy grounding cable.

The best ppl to buy grounding cable from in ZTH is Huakenny n C-ground .

i din buy from them also they r so ever willing to help me.. (i also malu la) altho maybe their cables abit more expensive but u'll b more satisfied after that.. believe me.. Dun kena con like me again.

cheers..

o u can loosen the 8mm screw/nut at ur alternator housing n put ur cable n tight it back the screw/nut...
