New CTS push-pull pots with plastic base -where do I ground?

I've sussed out the arrangement for the hot/tapped pickup wires, but where do I ground the tone cap etc to?

Thanks!
Further question - I'm replacing a set of tele pickups in a 4-way switch setup (4th position is both in series). The current neck pickup has 3 wires, the new one has two. Any way round this? I don't want to mod the pickup - I'd sooner put the original 3 way switch back in and lose the series/parallel option

Rewire the switching so it's the bridge pickup which is the upper coil in the series mode. This is easy if the pickup has no baseplate (so there's a separate bridge ground wire) and nearly as much if it does.

Hi,
I  recently bought  2  new cts push-pull pots for splitting coils in humbuker. I found it very  difficult to solder contacts . However after ruining 1 of them I saw that it is possible to disassemble the  board and to solder contacts and then to reassemble it .
Any comment or  opinions ?
