    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Painting things, eh....? Part of a larger project, maybe.

You didnt ask, maybe because you all ready know, but.......
THe solenoid and the R/R do get their ground from the battery box, well, the solenoid mounting bolt. Hence why the ground wire from the wiring harness there.
 
Yep, went to install the battery and noticed the batt box and frame cross member/tank mount were getting a bit broken-in, so gave them a quick coat of caliper paint. Not so much a larger project, just something to do on a saturday in the time of covid. Hope you are doing well, Dave, first confirmed case in muskegon announced this morning, Erin is at Mercy now and is a bit....worried about everything. Stay well!!

I usually add another thick ground wire between the battery box & my single point ground (or in my case it's more of a "most of it goes here" ground). Just to be sure. There's a lot of sh*te on there that needs a good ground path :)
