John,
Not to the chassis. The caps' negatives are not directly connected to the chassis; they are connected to the Rectifier negative and then via the bias resistor to the chassis, so the caps rest on the contact rings on top of cardboard washers which insulate the caps from the chassis.
The way I cut the cans makes them to not touch the contact ring anymore. This is why I have to somehow provide the new connection. The copper ring soldered to the cap's negative wire does exactly that, pressing against the contact ring.

People who do not drink, do not smoke, do not eat red meat will one day feel really stupid lying there and dying from nothing.
