+===== Grounding the tray =====
+The battery tray and oil tank are (shock isolated) from the motor and frame by the rubber mount studs. \\
+And most of those rubber mounts retain electrical continuity to/thru both their mounting studs. \\
+If using rubber mounts with the spring inside, the battery carrier is grounded to the frame due to the spring feature in the mounts. \\
+On the inside of the rubber part are two metal plates with the threaded stud attached to each one and then some the plates are connected inside with a spring. \\
+These type rubber mounts ensure electrical continuity from end to end of the studs. \\
+On others, the plates are either glued onto or sunk into the rubber, where the rubber is solid and has no electrical continuity between the studs. \\
+If you're not sure, check for continuity between the two threaded ends with a multimeter before proceeding. \\
