Yes there is, on my ‘94 Griff it’s behind the fuel tank and attached to the bolt that screws into the end of the near side top chassis rail

Looks like the left side.
The big hole to the left of the bolt looks suspiciously like the same hole the fuel pipe from tank to pump goes through which is then pumped full of mastic to close it off.

My notes say offside but I agree with Alun it has to be the nearside (left) because of the gaping hole and the fuel outlet hose from the tank is just visible.

On the offside there is just the single return hose. I am not sure the hand matters as you will need to remove the tank, or move it well back in any case to gain access.

I need to remove my fuel tank to fit new boot carpet so the heads up where to find the earth point is all good smile

Behind the tank there are two earth points, 6mm Allen key bolts, ends of the upper rails of the chassis.

They are essentially about 30-40cms below where the grilles are in the bulkhead.

They can be accessed by undoing the tank straps and pulling the tank away from the bulkhead (gently).

I left the near side earths as they were and earthed my amp to the offside.

No boot carpet needs removing to access them….

I found a picture.
A Chim but looks the same to me.
My N/S boot area with tank removed and the rubber patch I bonded over the big hole to reduce its size but flexible.

Thank you. My boot carpet is shot and the amplifier will be fitted accordingly smile
