Would I be correct in thinking that the metal disk where ground studs are located should be bare metal?
The one in this photo is above the relay board in the engine bay. It was painted body color and I stripped it with a wire brush. I just can't imagine that thick disk behind the stud was meant to be covered in paint if that is a ground location.  P.S. After tightening these connections, is it good practice to coat them in dielectric grease? P.P.S. Are the ground point locations the same on the 914-6 as the 914-4s? @JeffBowlsby had a nice drawing of the locations, but I think it was specific to the 4s. |
