    Default Broken Rectifier Mounting Screw

    Hey everyone,

    Was replacing my rectifier last night and while removing the old one, one of the screws broke (see attached image). Right now I have it mounted with the other screw, and it's holding it well, but do I need the second screw to ground it?

    Thanks.

    Derek

    It will ground through the one screw, but because of vibration I would drill and tap out the broken screw.
