Default Fountain K Plane Trim Solenoids

Local Merc dealer doesn't have the White Rogers K Plane solenoids that I need. They're pushing the Merc equivalent.

Current setup has solenoid grounding through base. Merc solenoid grounds through a terminal. I don't see any issue with modifying my harness connections. But...

I've read just about every thread on every site about these solenoids, but I don't see any retrofit information - Any issues that I'm not seeing with this retrofit?

Thanks.

Just run the grounding wire to the grounding terminal instead of the mounting bolt. Or go to AutoZone and pic up the same as you have for $10 if you prefer. Nothing special about these. Just a big ol relay.

That one kinda looks just like the Stinger ones I used on my stereo amps. Main difference is 3/4 terminal and if you need a constant or intermittent power solenoid. I'm assuming an intermittent is what required.
