Easy enough, I already have a ground wire on my housing so I don't have to rely on the springs for grounding.

Yeah, I know all about that, the hard way! When I first got my Sqbk back in '78 there was something that caused me to take apart the speedo and in the process of putting it back together, I broke off the needle. I took a wooden match stick, broke off the lightable end, and glued it onto the dial. It is still attached even though the guts of the speedo are messed up!

Thanks!
