Yeah connected to the bracket where it is bolted onto the head and the other end is strapped to a stud on the suspension top mounts.....however i think this end should be fastened somewhere else and i cant remember where lol. Cant find any information anywhere 
Got a few problems with battery going flat and i think this earth strap is causing them.

It has a good connection but i wont know if this was the problem until i drive it a few miles.....hopefully not breaking down again.
From pics ive seen it may need to connect to the head where the fixed bracket is bolted on and the other end fixed to the alternator adjustment bracket onto the fixing bolt/nut
From memory i have no idea really
