ground / earth point near the fuse box?

[TzTz]

Hi,

I'm trying to connect a dash cam in the fuse box and it requires a ground connection, obviously. I've been staring at the fuse box, but can't figure out a good point where to ground the camera.

Any pointers? Where do people ground their devices? Cheers!

There's a screw that holds on part of the metal trim on the right hand side of the engine bay (the right side if youre facing the car head-on). It should be right along the edge of where the bonnet closes. Just unscrew that, crimp a wire into an o-shaped clip or a u-shaped clip and then tighten the nut back down you can sand down the metal beneath the bolt if you want to be extra sure that the wire will ground, but I've had a ground for my coolant temp gauge sensor there for ages and it works great!

Any metal chassis part sand to bare metal will do

Cheers, managed to find a screw (though it took me a while and a really big screw driver to get it unscrewed). See attached.
