Power brake ground wire

As I'm trying to wrap up my project, I've run into very few loose ends, but this is one of them.

I've lost what I believe to be my brake booster ground. It plugs in right near the brake booster on the UIM and right near the o2 sensor plug. Its just a little clip on ground, and I have no idea where it has gone to.

Can anyone tell me where I can find this ground?

Thanks,
Brian

That's an important ground that attaches the engine block (via UIM) to the chassis.

Mazda actually 'upgraded' the ground a few years ago so that it's now braided line with a pair of metal ends, deleting the plastic portion of the clip.

Call up Ray Crowe at Malloy Mazda, 888 533 3400. Ray owns an FD, has great prices, ships super fast. Hell, I'm getting a box from him today . Just describe in detail what you need and he'll get it to ya

Alright, does it matter where I connect it to the UIM at?

Not really. I believe most cars have it bolt to the rear engine hanger.
