Default Headlight Harness ground.

Finally getting around to installing a new" lectric limited" forward harness in my '63 convertible,and wondering where the ground wire should be placed on the rad support to be a "correct" as possible.

The original support had been replaced some 30 years ago, and the ground was established to the left horn mount for some reason?

The new harness ( which looks amazingly accurate) has only a short B/W wire emerging from the bundle which looks like it should attach somewhere to the top of support.

Any advice or direction as to where I should drill a hole would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks, Bill.

Usually under the horn relay attachment screw.

On a 63 car the short ground wire you refer to attaches to the radiator support on the drivers side near the top at the area where the lamp harness goes over the core support. I think the attachment point is shown in the assembly manual and the small screw has a L head marking FWIW.

Maybe someone will post a picture.
