My 73 roadster side lights/turn signals are grounded through the
body. I had trouble getting a good enough ground - with the base
plate tightened down the chrome trim would have tightened down onto
the paint before the base. I used two nuts on each stud - one on the
outside of the body and one on the back. This allowed me to get a
good ground whilst positioning the base so that the chrome was off
the paint. I bought some extra foam pieces to pad out the gap
between base and body. It seems to me that the chrome trim is way
too deep. I have seen concourse winners with the paint damaged here.
