Looking for a better way to attach ground wire to sheet metal
One of my ground cables attaches to the body in the rear via a sheet metal screw. Can anyone recommend a more secure way of attaching the cable to the body? It is not possible to access the backside so through bolting is out of the question. I had thought about welding a 1/4" bolt to the sheet metal and attaching that way but am looking for other methods. Thanks in advance!

You should try to avoid dissimilar metals which can lead to corrosion and a poor ground over time.

Look around in the area. Is there a present attachment point for something that can be safely used as a ground point? I used one of the internal bolting points for my rear bumper inside the trunk.
