Earth Strap Location

Can anyone tell me where the body end of the earthstrap that bolts on with the starter bolts goes? Is there just the Charger one besides?
regards
Neal :)

charger to left chassis leg, top gearbox mount to right chassis leg, battery to car body and lambda probe earth point on the inlet manifold.

Those are the main earths mate, taken from the engine diagnostic guide in the FAQ. Dunno about the starter earth

yep I've never seen an earth strap going from one of the starter bolts on a mk3 polo of any sort.  The nearest one to that is on top of the gearbox upper mount.
