I will disagree with you and with using a seat bolt as a grounding point....and we've won 2 world titles in Sound Quality....where the quality of the install is actually judged...unlike in DB drag or any SPL comp for that matter. I'd also like to note that our vehicle consistantly scores the highest in install in the DIVISION, not just our class. Getting a 99% perfect score at finals is not easily done, and is very rare to boot.
And yes, we are the installers.
The point of my post was this: consider where you are trying to ground. Relying on a ring terminal that's going to give you 1/8" of contact to that bolt on the interior sides of the terminal is NOT a good ground.
Sanding away the paint and using the same bolt (as long as IT also has the paint removed) IS ok. No matter how you look at it, over time, grit and grime gets into the threads, which lessens your continuity.
I'd also like to note that there's a reason that major chains make it a standard to NOT use those locations for grounding.
