What have you done for better earthing of the engine?
I currently just have the one onto the engine mount arm but feel like i can do with another .

Is it best just do add one at the other side or is there a better option?

Or am i being stupid and the one will do?

One is working Nick but i added another when doing the m30 and i felt it made a difference .
I dont have one spare or would just try it out.
Also sure i read somewhere here someone added one and it solved issue they had.
