Earth connection for dash cam
Can someone post a pic of the earthing point near the under dash fuse box used when hard wiring a dash cam to fuse number 2.

Be careful not to over tighten that stud (for earth) - it's only a attached to bulkhead by a very light tack weld...

Can't remember the nut size sorry (13mm?) but there's also several (and better in my opinion) earth locations available on the A pillar near the door hinges. Just need to remove a couple of plastic covers (push fit), very similar to a Fiesta installation.
Plenty of help on YouTube such as below. Watch the section from around 5min 20sec for the panel removals...

The nut is 13mm and saying it's tricky to reach is an understatement. Needed long nose pliers to to get the earth cable behind the nut and at the same time tighten said nut. Took a few attempts but now it's all sorted. I used number 2 fuse for the power supply which is ignition controlled.
