Default 1LS, wtf is this ground strap to?

Got my car back from the body shop and noticed something was a bit off..

There was a nice 4 or 6ga black wire bolted to a small plate with two holes on it.

WTF.








sorry, camera phone pics.

it looks like the freaking neg battery cable! car runs fine though so..

any idea where the hell this bolts to? i couldnt find anything obvious.

It could be a transmission ground on the engine also.

That bracket mounts to the A/C compressor (its should be fastened near the pulley)...one of the holes is for a stud and nut, the other for a bolt.

thats the only thing i could see i guessed it could fasten to. that stud on the AC compressor confused me because there was never anything attached to it.

awesome. thank you jeff.
