Where is everyone grounding all the wiring for dual and triple fuel pumps?

I am going to grind the paint off and make my own for the Fore and the amplifiers. Using a ground stud.

I would think the seatbelt bolt would be a good one.
AS long as there is no coating between the ground wire and the body connection point.

I did this, after having issues with the FPDM ground

Highly suggest you ground something like that to a welded on stud. Please.

Seat belt bolt grounds are often a fail for even car audio systems.

What issues did you have?
Car died on me at Starbucks; traced it to a bad ground contact. There isn’t enough surface area, IMO, by the FPDM for a reliable ground there

Where did you end up moving the ground to?

When it comes to fuel pumps, either find a factory ground nearby or worst case, run a heavy gauge cable straight to the negative on the battery. Getting left stranded on the side of the road is never fun...
