Battery ground cable/wire

relocating battery under tail section.  Is there any reason why I couldn't just weld a bung to the frame closer to the battery ?    Or, is there a reason that it is on one of the motor mount bolts ?   Probably overthinking things.
Yep, I'm the kid that figured out how to put things back together...eventually.

So long as the mount is clean of paint, you'll be OK.


You should also have a harness ground.

I like to clean all ground connections of paint and powdercoat, and use conductive grease on the connector and frame.
