 The tap point is after the first IF amplifier filter, XF401. This is in the same location on both the VHF and UHF models:

 Adding some extra shielding is probably a good idea. This little bit of copper extends up to the tap board, where the idea is to use the underside ground plane of the tap board to act as the top of the can. Can't hurt... DC / RF ground can be picked up from all over the place so I just soldered in every available spot. The shield can be soldered down to the other shield cans, and the edge meeting the board soldered back down to the pads left by the original can.
