I think it is important to solder tiny jumpers from the point rails to the closure rails that are hard wired to the stock rails.
the hinges between the point and the closure rails are not really reliable and the electric connection between the point and the stock rails might be below average with those little spring only. It is even more important because the frog will be dead by design with that little spring. A dead point rail together with a dead frog will be a severe problem.
