A device for providing a grounding path between an outer surface of a gas turbine aircraft engine and an inner surface of a gas turbine aircraft engine uses a structural guide vane (SGV) with a nonconductive coating on the surface. Bolts are put in bolt holes that have a bolt receiving cavity without the nonconductive coating. A washer and bolt are used so that attachment of the SGV to a surface provides a ground path from the SGV through the bolt, washer and nut for electrical engagement with a surface to which the bolt attaches the SGV.
