What's a good method for a non-technical person to short the terminals of two 0402 resistors ~1mm apart? (lemmy.world)

I'm working on a mod kit for a popular item, but my target audience isn't likely to have a soldering iron. The majority of the project connects to an exposed ribbon connector, but I need to short two terminals to force a power supply on.

Any ideas on a method I could provide for people who can't solder? Maybe a strip of copper tape?

That’s still how I’d do it, just make the plastic bit reach over those other resistors. I’d 3d print the bracket.
