Ok, so i've been searching for a while and can't seem to find the exact answer that I'm looking for. Basically, I need to know how I can ground the fuel pump if I eliminate the hard line inside the fuel pump cover and use all AN fittings. The fuel pump needs to be grounded onto the hard line, but I'm eliminating the full hard line. If the wires are still attached to the inside of the plate does that mean the previous owner didn't install the Walbro with a rewire kit?? I'm not exactly sure how you'd get the ground wire to come out of the cap without drilling a hole into the cap maybe causing a leak of gasoline. Do I need to do a rewire kit?? I already have all the fittings I just need to know how to safely power and ground the pump.

1g FWD

In the pic, I'm eliminating the hard line, but I need to find a way to relocate the ground that's on that hard line. Do I need to rewire this pump? If so, how do I do it through the cap without causing a leak.

I've been trying to research this for the car, but all I'm seeing is 1g AWDs and 2gs. I can probably just run the wires trough the gaskets on the side and just make sure its super tight around that spot, I just want to know if anyone has experienced this before.

This one shows a rewire into a FWD but not with undoing the hard line on the inside of the pump:
1G Fuel Pump Rewire


Can I just run the ground wire through the gasket and ground it on the chassis somewhere? And run the power wire through the gasket as well and install the relay from there?

I drew a diagram of what I think I can do. Let me know what you think.

I also have bought this kit which is what I color coated the diagram with that I drew:
