Hi Mike,
As Charlie has indicated, the Garmin way of connecting the shield on a 430 is to the black connector block on the rear of the rack. I have found this difficult if you don't have the pins for this.
I have done quite a few of these, I would connect the shields to the connector shield block if they have one(The GTX does), and at the 430 end connect to the black earthing block if you have pins for the connector and there is spare/open position. If not I would put a ring on the shield wire and connect it to the strain relief screw on the 430 connector or anywhere close where you could get a screw installed.
Cheers.
Bruce.
