This is done by embedding 1/4" tinned copper braid from wingtip to fuselage where it joins a similar braid from tail to engine mount. The braid is steel riveted to the underside filler necks of each fuel tank and an anchor nut riveted there too. A steel tab is then screwed on to this anchor nut from the upper wing skin, right next to the filler cap, for grounding prior to fuelling. I have a diagram of all this if it is helpful.
