    I need a good grounding point under the hood. I see the two grounding points EE and EF but I don't know how to get to them with a socket wrench to attach my ground cable.

    Any good locations? Currently I am using one of the bolts from the inverter's case but it is not good enough. I can't physically see the other ground points.

    I would think any bolt that is set into the body, should work. A good check, take an Ohm meter, attach one lead to neg terminal of the battery, poke around the engine compartment until you find a or nut that you get a Zero or very lo Ohms reading! That's How I found the points in my car for grounding my different toys!
