Help installing grounding kit.
 
I ordered a grounding kit from Kellyswip.com. Its agreat kit but the instruction links don't work on the sit!

I have a complete kit but have no idea where things go since I have 2 optional grounds & an ANL kit! I'd love to install this thing but can't without help or instructions!
Any advice guys? I ordered the RXJ-242-F which is the best of the best I guess...its going into my 1988 jeep cherokee.

Got yer PM, answered your emails, and you should now have instruction sheets again (they should have come with your invoice the first time, I try to make sure to send them.)

I do know the doc links on the site are broken - I lost a lot of space when I had to change hosts, and I've been trying to get to work on a site reorg (but medical matters have kept me busy. Should be clearing up now...)

The short (10" or so) ground with the 1/4" lug on the end is the chassis ground, the shorter of the two longer grounds would be the ground for the alternator case. I detailed how to install them when I answered your email, but I don't think I mentioned that it's helpful to clean the contact patches for all grounds (to the chassis) down to bare metal, apply corrosion inhibitor on assembly, and replace screws PRN.

NB: Corrosion inhibitor is not dielectric grease, and is very much not WD-40! You can find electrical corrosion inhibitor at your local hardware store, electrical section, if you didn't order any from me. You do not need a large clean patch - usually, a postage stamp-sized patch will more than serve.

Most of the sheetmetal screws are #10 tapping, the chassis end of the firewall grounds strap takes M8-1.25x20m/m.

I'm gonna do a write on this so its easier for future customs. Now that I looked the stuff over I understand what you were saying Jon. At first I was confused but now I see the light:)

My writeup should help everyone but I'm doing this on a renix so of course there will be differences!

They're not as different as you'd think - the PDC replaces the starter motor relay, and ChryCo has the chassis ground as OEM (and generally doesn't need the alternator ground, the OEM subharness has a supplemental alt ground already.)

I'm glad I could help - and I'll be interested in seeing what you come up with, since my instructions are always subject to revision. Ergo, I may talk to you about your writeup later (and I'm glad you finally could find the attachments I'd sent...)
