The unibody really won't notice a difference.

If you can I would try to find the next closest ground, and just extend the wire to avoid having to drill a new hole in the unibody, better threaded bolt in said area probably, and one area less to corrode.

Any specific reason to choose there over somewhere else for your setup?

Ok, most sigs I can deal with. This one seems a bit over the top. You could delete and just start a thread in the Member's Journal section. then link it in your sig.

For me and most that would not be an ideal place to run a ground wire at all
Why there and where are you running a ground from ?

I use the factory ground locations, best to place the ground close to item it is for.

Forever electrical connection to metal bodies easy , Star washers they really bite into the metal best way to ground. (Lowes)
If you need the ground to the sheet metal Use a crushable nut insert quarter inch or 3/8 and use dielectric grease on the threads.
