Does anyone know where can we find one?
Should it be at the First kit or should be buy it seperately?

Thanks in Advance.

You have found out by now that almost none of the connectors have a large enough mounting hole to fit the grounding stud. Most hardware stores and home centers will have what you need. Try to obtain connectors that have the right size mounting hole but do not achieve that by sacrificing the overall size. The connctors in the electrical bag (in my opinion) do not have enough material to provide a reasonable attachment point or provide a low enough insertion resistance. If you use this type of connector please make sure you anchor the wires securely so that the connector will not fail during competition.
