The manual does not say too much other than the heater needs to be bonded, and they have a picture with an arrow pointing to where the lug should go. But there is nothing there! No hole, no indentation like there should have been a hole, nothing. Just perfectly smooth painted sheet metal like the rest of the heater enclosure. They included the copper lug, and a green screw (not self-tapping, either) to attach it to the heater. But I find no unused holes anywhere on the heater that look like they could be a candidate.
Anybody else run into this? Am I just being really dumb? I have a ticket open with Raypak but I have not heard back yet. Maybe if I can verify there is nothing behind the area where it should be according to the docs, I could carefully drill the hole myself and let the screw cut itself some suitable threads. Not ideal, but continuing without a bond is also not ideal.
