How to repair broken ground stud???
I broke off the ground stud next to the battery. Any ideas on how to repair this? Can I just ground the wires to the negative side of the battery?

NO! Drill the frame and install a self tapping screw! That works best. You want that wire to be as short as possible. That is your MAIN ground wire fron the battery to the frame!! Here is what I did to repair mine when it broke off: This is the ground stud behind the rear wheel. G-401
I have a picture of the screw and a picture of the repair on the fromt frame rail G-101. Sene me your e-mail address and I will send them to you.
