Default Where is my grounding?

Hi

I’m looking at my battery and I don’t see any grounding cables coming off. Can someone please tell me how should I ground my D1?

I just see the blue and red cables coming off the terminals, and the black one going to fuse box, there is a black cable, thiner, probably 18 gauge that was under the battery, not connected to anything (see picture), is this the grounding?

The main grounding straight from the battery is the big primary black terminal cable, which connects to the body between the fuse box and coolant reservoir, and then goes down to the frame under the A/C compressor. I'm not sure what that small black wire is, however.

those blue and red wires and that tray of junk on the firewall that looks like a vintage stereo amp are not land rover parts

E100 is the battery ground to the body.  The Electrical Troubleshooting Manual, which is an available elsewhere in this forum, has an appendix with pics of all major grounds and wiring harnesses. Go wild.
