Let me say something dumb too.
I always thought the outside of the starter motor was ground and therefore the starter works if mounted in the chassis.
I actually never have seen a starter motor with a negative wire unless the battery was grounded directly on the starter motor. for example an 1997 yamaha outboard motor.(a boat thingy)

I'm not an F4 guy, but I am guessing that the other end of that is actually your starter solenoid. I could be wrong, again I'm not an F4 person.

Edit: Starter Solenoid Relay. Words are hard......

We all have our moments. Nothing to worry about. You did the right thing by asking though.
