    Hi all.
    The stupid orange block that's full of all the earths......
    I've read on here.....I.think.....that some people bundle them together, solder and wrap them all together.
    My question is this:-
    All the earths seem to be in separate slots in the orange connector so is it ok to securely put them all together?
    I went to a store near where I live and noticed they do a metal earthing block with 12 screw connections. Would it be ok to take all the earths from the orange connector and connect them all to this metal earth block and then bolt the block to the frame?
    Any help or comments would be appreciated.

    Paul

    Yes, that would be a preferred fix to soldering them all together IMO.

    Yes. Just make sure you get a good solid connection to both the frame and all wire ends.

    I plan to do the same modification to mine. I have a custom built wire harness that relocated my ECU. This winter I planned to redo the custom harness and will do a more reliable fix to the orange ground buss.
