That might work as long as it's thick enough so it doesn't sling off. Just a tiny bit.

JVC had a problem with that in some of their later models and issued a bulletin and a grounding kit to install inside the drum. I did a bunch of those. Some would be so bad the playback would have many dots all over the TV screen.
