Default Ground wire or? (pics)

Put my car up on ramps to change out a few squeaky pulleys and when I loosened the belts up top and below I noticed this just hanging. Looks like its coming from behind or around the alternator. Anyone know where it goes?

I had that strap and a wire just hanging. Couldn't fine where they went so I used a self tapper and grounded them behind the headlight.

Well got the pulleys on (sounds great to hear solid belts) and found another ground just hanging... coming out of the fuse box. Ended up just bolting that to the frame as well with the ground above, and started up/ran just fine with no problems.

2 Front wheel hubs, rotors, pads tomorrow, wish me luck!

Why not just swap over to some C5 brakes while you're in there? lol

Or better yet, some cts-v brakes.

How's the ease of swapping over with those? Haven't heard of this swap, before.

Nice. That looks to be easier than the Z06, aside from potentially having to find someone to machine the rotors in my area.

Yeah, finding a machine shop is the hardest thing, but you can always go with the c6 z06 rotors if you cant find someone.
