Wire with small guage flexible wire. Wire toward front so as to not interfere with tank replacement. Don't pull it tight enough to twist it it sideways. No more crawling around looking for these "silent jumpers".

The wire is not going to come loose if I accidentally bump it while reinstalling the tank.
