Thanks for all your responses!

BTW NOT using dielectric grease is new to me? What would be a good conductive grease?
I ran a extra battery cable from the frame strap bolt to the lower starter bolt hiding it in the frame channel. This removes any questionable transitions like rivet points, bolt points etc. which could be mechanically sound but electrically resistant at high current.
