Need a Spot

I'm replacing the battery cables in my '85 22RE (they are the originals) and I'm wondering if anybody has found a good place to run another ground cable. The stock ground cable attaches to the inner fender panel and I'd like to run a second ground cable to the engine or frame - I'm just lazy and hoping somebody can tell me what length cable and where to attach it.

Body Damage is Cool

When I did my ground cables, I ran some 4 Gauge wire from the fender ground to the frame, between the battery and the headlight, and down to a pre-threaded hole at the front of the frame. I did the head -> body ground with 4 ga. as well. I added some others too, but at the moment I can't remember where <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />. No real performance difference, but the volt meter seems to register a bit higher now. Couldn't have hurt, might have helped.
