500k Liberator - Truly Solderless?

If I wanted to put one of the 500k Liberators in my 1 Humbucker 1 Vol Strat, what would that diagram look like? Can I screw in the grounds from the tremolo claw? And what about the sleeve (ground) from the jack? Or do you have to solder at least one of the grounds?
 
Re: 500k Liberator - Truly Solderless?

You have to solder all of the exit wires on the liberator to the selector switch and tone pot(s). It's not a solder free operation the first time you put it in.

And the exit wires (the wires that go to the pots and the selector switch) are color coded for SD pups, so you'll have to use those if you're not sure what wire goes where.

Actually for a 1 hum, 1 vol guitar it just may be totally solderless. I have to think about it, but it would involve things like twisting two wires together and inserting them into the same terminal. But you could definitely take advantage of all the ground terminals and run the pickup's hot lead into the volume pot's hot.
