Default Is this safe to drill for a ground wire?
I am wondering if it safe to drill into the little wall right behind seats on a C6 to attach my ground wire to? Not sure if there is wires in there, gas lines or anything. I would be connecting it right behind the drivers seat on the hump part of that metal wall.

Do not drill

You can use a seat bolt, or even better is one of the oem grounds near the seatbelt rollers on the floor.
