Clean the grounding point better and make the ground shorter, way shorter, like a foot to a foot and a half and it will be ok until the ofc wire comes. 

that is close the the front of my rear  tire  i would have to relocate to the back some were if i shorten it b.c that wire is pretty streched so it doesnt get in tagnled with my suspetion

Cut that carpet a little bit and clean off that metal REAL GOOD with heavy grit sandpaper or a wire brush or wire brush drill attachment and predrill a hole and ground it there. That ground would be like 8” and since it’s so short the fact that it’s cca wire won’t matter as much. But I would still get ofc wire and ground it there and your problem is fixed. You can use that cca wire until the ofc wire comes in and be fine. But even if you buy a really long ofc wire and use that same long grounding path you have established now won’t fix your problem.

Order a little extra just in case you need more. Maybe you might need 14” for it sit nice. Idk. So just in case.

You should be good. It looks like that’s only about 8 to 10 inches of a gap between the battery’s negative post and that carpeted wall where the metals up under.

And I know what you mean. I sale cars and people aren’t buying cars right now so my money’s tight too. It sucks.

And make sure you clean that metal off better than you did in the pictures you posted.

And after you ground that wire spray on and around it with an oil base paint to protect against corrosion and rust. I use clear coat and it looks cleaner and more natural.
