Always thought it went there mate lol mines on the one on the right hand side not the rocker cover washer btw

Had to get a subframe brace for the rear for the ek9 rear arb so went and ordered this one from the states. A mate of mine had one a few years on his Ek and I loved it and you don't see them very often.

yeah that's not going to ground correctly because of the valve cover rubber gasket in the way. Hence why it's bolted to the head stud from factory as it's direct ground.
