Alternator grounding question

[bcarey]

I'm running into some problems with my alternator and a drained battery. Car is new to me, and while looking it over last night, I think the problem might be that the alternator isn't grounded. Based on the excellent charging FAQ page, it looks, however, like the normal grounding point/bolt/nut aren't there. Can I attach a new ground wire to the point on the opposite side, as detailed in this image?

Thanks for the guidance!

That will work as a ground too, any place on the case will work. Also a tip, put a cap over the B+ (a piece of vacuum hose or vacuum cap works) so you don't start arc welding every time you bump it with a wrench while working on something else.

Great, thanks. I'm going to take a shot at fixing this tonight, and either charge the existing battery or drop in a new one. Hopefully this solves my starting woes!
