ST205 CLUSTER, HELP ME, PLEASE Options

[JoKeRkId613]

I'm hooking up the wires from my AT200 cluster to the corresponding wires on the new ST205 cluster. Things are a bit different and more than half the wires are either ground wires that lead to screws behind the cluster or are just not used... I have some questions... Can I just tape off or cover the wires that are supposed to be grounded(this way it's like if they weren't in use) or do I HAVE TO ground them to some chassis piece of metal? I'm not going to ground them using the screws on the cluster because they lead to other things or one cluster has more ground wires than the other... Also, can I ground all these wires to on spot? Like if I find a screw somwhere near the metal stuff behind the dash, can I connect all the ground wires to one ground? Thanks a lot guys. An answer a.s.a.p. to all these questions would be unimaginabley greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Please help. I just don't want to cause a short or break the whole thing. Can I ground any wire on the cluster without causing damage? Or is thta not safe? You don't have to know about clusters, just basic electronics in general. Thanks.
