M38A1 Voltage Regulator Grounding

Guys

What is the best way to ground this?

Clean all paint off all 4 mounting points, splash guard and frame brackets.... OR....1x Mounting point.

Or use a grounding strap?

Any help would be appreciated.

Regards

Nic

The ground provided by the original 4 shock mount straps is more than adequate. Ensure their contact area is paint and corrosion free. The regulator is bonded to the generator through the shielding of it's harness. The generator is bonded to the chassis through the adjusting arm and the braided strap just below the generator mount. If these contact areas are kept free of paint and corrosion everything will function correctly.
