ok heres my personal findings, I replaced teh plastic with billit Aluminium $425, Well worth it compared to the price of a V10 engine, I thread taped the water tube and bothe sensors and installed them the ground I out on the bolt I found wih locktight on it, only one bolt had locktight, the odds of sombody missing 5 and getting one are not that good so automatically I assumed it was to hold something (yes I knwo what happens when you assume) so I installed that bolt on the end with the radiator hose (easier to get to) so far so good tamp gagae works, no lights and no leaks that engine looks wonderful all dry on top
so if you have a V10 gas engine with two sensors and a ground, and you want to change to a billit aluminium yes you can put the ground on a mount bolt
I know I could have probally found one somewhere cheaper than ebay, but I trust the people I gort it from and the other ones I saw only had a hole for 1 sensor

Can you post a pic??? I would think you would just put it back together, the way it was with the plastic housing, and it should be all good.

heres the plastic one

And the Billet Aluminium one

you can simply remove eth lug from teh plastic one and flatten it back out ( if yor liek me) and use it on the metal one BUT , you gotts use it on one of the bolt holes
And I''l say this I HIGHLY recomend changeing from Plastic over to metal no matter what vehicle you drive
