Fuel Filler Grounding Strap Location

[Mark_M]

This weekend I put the body back on and am starting to hook everything up so I can begin driving the car and work out any kinks. I went to remove the duct tape off the fuel filler and install the remaining parts and noticed there is no exposed frame that the 6 inches or so gold grounding strap will reach, just the aluminum panels. Am I missing something? Anyone have pictures or a good explanation of what they did? As always I appreciate all the help.

Thanks,
Mark

Use the aluminum panels, its all attached to the grounded frame.

Dang, the filler is supposed to be grounded??? The one on my 2005 MkII isn't grounded. I was just working on it 30 minutes ago so it's still here.

I drilled out one of the rivets that hold the aluminum to the frame next to the filler and tapped the hole. It reached just fine.
