One of the brush leads will be grounded but once the generator starts charging the other will be a direct short if it touches the case. That one I would advise careful routing or protection of some sort.
Here is a bit from the 53 OM on the battery light operation and flickering as well as a diagram of a typical charging circuit showing generator internal wiring. Regulator details are slightly different between Delco and Autolite but basic operation is the same.
