I'm rewiring Kim's D10 Series III (1967). Does anyone recall where the ground cable connected originally?
This one was hooked to ops platform which was not original, it just used one of the holes where the battery box should have connected (had it not been gone). It also had what was left of a ground connection back at the last fender bolt. That seemed like a hack too but could have been a woven ground strap type of connection. There was also a duplicate cable (unhooked back in the past sometime) that ran all the way up to the starter. This could have been a ground, or it could have been the original hot. The hot had been replaced with an old number 1 cable from an auto tie-wrapped to the other cable. The other cable (a number 4 gauge) had original paint on it.
I'd like to put it back as from the factory rather than just find a convenient place to ground it, but I may have to do that if I can't figure out how it was connected.
