Earth Connections For Bx Loom On Mi16 Installation

[Dave_McC 0]

I've been checking / tracing through my BX loom before installing for the Mi16 instal I'm doing - reading other posts I don't need to connect the earth lead from the car loom brown connector under the steering column - which got me checking where the ecu picks up an earth connection - the only point I can see is the 2 wires which go under the bolts holding the fuel rail to the inlet manifold - is this right or do I need another earth connection somewhere?

 

On a related point, I intend mounting the ecu under the driver's seat - putting an ally plate under the carpet with bolts pushed up through the carpet and ecu mounted on these bolts - I assume the ecu casing doesn't need to be earthed?

 

Cheers

There is another earth by the ignition amp. Should be a ring connector or two there.

Thanks - there is indeed another earth connection there - brown wire with ring terminal.
