Back to the Battery area...
I wasn't happy with the ground connection to the frame.
.
I welded the copper to the u-bolt...and welded the steel bolt to the copper (Saves getting another wrench in this tight area)
I used Silicone Bronze and a little powdered flux and Oxy welded them.
I still tighten the U-bolt to the frame and now I have a very solid connection pressing the copper into the bare/shinny Chromoly
.
I have a near by grounding plate , but it's not for this kind of heavier voltage.
