I have a 92 Honda accord sedan DX
In the trunk, there are a couple of rubber plugs

1 really grabs my attention.

I was just wondering if my ground location is a good or bad idea

Rubber plug on right side of trunk

Rubber plug removed

Inside the hole

The hole extends to the bottom frame

Frame from the bottom

My idea was to cover the hole with a circular metal on top. Run a bolt through the middle down to the hole in the frame. Secure it with a bolt nut on the bottom of the frame.

Will it matter if I use copper flashing in stack(layers) as the plate, and solder them together?

Or it doesn't matter what type of metal I will use as a plate?

Thx

Honestly I would never make my ground as you just described. I'd rather use that hole to run my ground through it and ground it straight to the chassis under the car.
