Default 1973 Flasher Upgrade (LED)?

So I have a 1973 Corvette & I bought an LED Flasher. I'm trying to install it on the passenger side. Problem is I have nowhere to ground the ground wire due to the car being fiberglass. Any solutions on where I can ground the wire to the passenger side flasher? Does anyone have pictures of how they did it to theirs? Anything helps! Thank you!

You could remove the kick panel and run a ground wire to one of the screws in the birdcage.

I don't remember the brand of electronic flasher I used, but it didn't need a ground wire.

There are plenty of metal surfaces around between the "birdcage" and underdash supports to ground to in that area, use a test lamp or voltmeter to find a good location.
