Ground Strap on Body Bracket

Does anyone have a picture or can tell me how the ground strap that is on the left hand body bracket is supposed to be attached? It looks like one end has a clip that's supposed to attach somewhere and I'm not sure where. Looking at the AIM it looks like it has an eyelet for a screw which mine doesn't have. Not sure if I'm missing something here.

Thanks

That ground strap attaches to an existing hole in the forward face of the #1 body mount frame bracket with a screw and a star washer, and the other end of the strap has a barbed spring clip on it that pushes on the front edge of the birdcage sill. This is probably the most important ground strap on the car, as it grounds everything in the car from the firewall back.
