I used wire braid from my engine to mount, and mount to
firewall. I'd have to look it up, but off the top of my
head it was about 1/4" wide. This gives the ignition
and instrument sender current a path back to the battery.
I also ran the same gauge mil spec wire for the primary bus
ground as I did for battery/alternator power. I think I
sized it for 15A current. So in my case, I used insulated
wire for the ground path from the firewall back to the
instrument panel.
For my fuel gauge senders, I ran the same gauge shielded wire to each tank, and
used the same for the lighting.
All metal parts do not really need to be grounded, I think
that is overkill. If you want to do that I would recommend
running a 1/4" ground unshielded braid aft to the elev horn
mount, and mount it there. I would also consider running a
braid to the wing attach fittings, but I haven't done that.
One of these days I will put the schematics for my
electrical system on my website, the links are currently
inactive.
