Hey guys, lately i have been having some issues with my grounds. I have been having trouble getting the thing just right. To get it working i ran a new ground wire from the chassis to the engine and it cleared up the issues. Then to make it a little nicer looking i removed that wire and replaced the ground wire on the right side of the engine compartment and cleaned up the ground wire on the left side of the engine compartment. It started up just fine and I wasn't having any issues. Than i took it for a test drive and once in a while when i hit a bump the speedo will drop to 0 and right back to the correct speed. Is this most likely still an issue with the ground wire? Also where might I be able to buy replacement ground wires because I don't wanna have to just wrap wire around the bolts i would rather have the correct terminals on it. But I don't want to spend $100 on a ground wire kit because it is kind of unnecessary for what I'm trying to do. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

you can get connector ends at any hardware store that should do the trick for only a couple bucks. you could even get some heat shrink to make the job look a little more professional
