How do you safety earth your tube cages?

Tube DIY Asylum

Do It Yourself (DIY) paradise for tube and SET project builders.

I've just realised that my plan for tube protection in my next amp build uses a metal cage that is not safety earthed. I know, the chances of it being an issue are remote... but present.

I'm powder coating and would like a decent-looking finish - I'd prefer not to be masking or scratching exterior paint to create a bond - how can I ensure the cage is earthed?

My other option is to use bent acrylic, high-impact acrylic or polycarbonate, but I'd like to maintain a "classic" look.

Any thoughts?

Cheers,
