9 Volt Adapter Jack

[Kondor]

Hi,
  I want to use the metal 9 volt adapter jack versus using the plastic one and I would like to know what a person can  do to make sure it doesn't ground out.  I have read a few posts that say they have problems with it.  The metal 9 volt adapter is sturdier and the plastic one is not well built at all.
  Any information you can share will be appreciated.
Thanks.

about 1/4 or 1/3 of the way down there's information on that; basically drill the hole larger, fill it with bondo, and then drill in that.

Thanks for the information on the www.smallbear.com/Projects/SmWart/SmWart.htm site. 
To make it easier, I was thinking, maybe slide a plastic grommet in the hole, and then slide the jack inside that, would that work?
Thanks.

  You can test that.
  As long as it looks like and works ...
  Why not use that to ground the box? are you doing PNP Pos Gnd?

What's PNP pos ground mean?  Positive Negative Positive positive ground is that the abbreviation?  That's how I am setting it up.
