So I am installing some gauges in my 88 Mini and I need to ground the light bulbs... Where can I take a ground behind the dash so I don't damage anything important?

[jaysmini1983]

I drilled a hole into the metal shelf of the dash panel. somewhere it couldnt be seen. then i nice self taping screw or nut/bolt.

Alternatively you could tap into any black wires you find above the heater.

Those black wires usually end in an earth point somewhere behind the dash .. at least on all the classics I've worked on they have

I used the steel bracket that supports the clocks as an earth for my power outlet sockets.
