Gurus,
Thanks to the many posts on this forum, I understand the theory of electrical ground loops and what causes them. I'm now at a decision point in my electrical system build and I find I don't know the practical application of this knowledge.
I intend to run a grounding strap from my engine to the firewall.
In the pictures below, you can see where I intend to mount the Ground block "farm" on the avionics shelf behind my panel.
Here is my question:
Should I run a wire from the bolt on the grounding block to the bolt on the "firewall ground" to tie them more directly together or just let the connection on the avionics shelf suffice?
Any other suggestions are also welcome
