grounding a radio 93 stang

WOW that is some method you have there cody...

Well here is an easier & more correct method:
All you need to do for gnd in a fox body is bolt it to the existing metal behind the center console. There is plenty surface area on the bracket which is attached to the center hump in the car surrounding the radio. Just simply sand or scrape away the paint in the spot you are gnding to, drill a hole for an 8-32 bolt, make the wire as short as possible allowing you to still remove the radio for service, crimp on a ring terminal for the proper size wire you are using (normally about 16-18ga), slide the 8-32 bolt through the connector & in the drilled hole, then use a nylock nut on the screw to ensure it stays tight.

This is the same method I used in basic installs as well as in award winning audio installs. Clean, functional, simple; that is what you should strive for unless you like doing more work than necessary.

(this is an educated guess based on prior posts made by you, the way you jump into these dead threads and try to bring them back from the dead to make yourself look good if by chance you are older than shame on you)
