    1954 radio ground

    Hi Folks. Is there supposed to be a 12 gage ground wire from the radio chassis bracket to ground on the dash somewhere. If so, where would be a good connection? This is the very last thing I need to do to say the car is done. Thanks as always.

    6 volt
    The radio is grounded to the metal plate that is behind the dash - it is riveted in.

      Is that with a wire from the support bracket? Thanks Chris.

        The radio attaches to the dash - to the metal plate - that is your ground for the radio and all the gauges and the lighter and clock
        There is a brace at the RH side but that is not a ground
        I have a couple photos of what it should look like
