I've got the ones on the ends of the fuel rail, as you look at the engine from the front theres one on the left and 2 on the right!

Do you need a gearbox or an engine earth to body or anything?

Thanks

I'd earth off the block or from one of the gearbox to block mounting bolts never from the gearbox its self as the aluminium casing isnt the best conductor on the planet by far!
