        Yet another VeryBeneficial AdditionalGround >IMHO< is from the Body of the O2Snsr to any NearBy

NiceClean spot on the Frame or BodySkin ~ The Normal GroundPath for that O2Snsr is the ExhaustSystem

& I think We All probably are well aware of how Cruddy they can be ~ Just get YourSelf a Usable Length of

Fairly Healthy MultiStrand Wire & HoseClamp It to the Body of the O2Snsr & connect the other end to spot

of choice ~
