Q: Amp output jack wiring

I picked up a 1989 Fender 100B head today. It's in near mint condition except for one big bonehead issue. On the speaker out jacks the previous owner to the one I got it from had for some reason glued the two jacks to the chassis with model glue. One jack is completely broken and the other barely holds the speaker cable. The amp sounds great and everything works as it should otherwise but here is my question:
It has two speaker outs mounted to a tiny PCB. I was able to break the glue bond and get the board free. The jacks are the cheap plastic housed type mounted to the PCB. It has just the two +/- wires from the circuit board going to the output stage.
What I'm wondering is, I don't really need both output jacks anyway so I was just going to wire in one quality metal jack. But since the original jacks are plastic and there is no metal or grounding contact from those do I need to worry about grounding or getting shocked if I use a metal jack which will make metal to metal contact to the chassis? Finding info on the amp is very difficult and what is there is mostly other questions.
Thanks
George
