Yes, look for anything that says "cdrom" on it and add:

	, MODE="0660"

to the end of those lines.  Yes, that's a comma, space, then MODE="0660"
(including the quotes).  For example, the line that used to read

	KERNEL=="sr[0-9]*",    SYMLINK+="cdrom cdrom-%k"

should now read

	KERNEL=="sr[0-9]*",    SYMLINK+="cdrom cdrom-%k", MODE="0660"

And the line that read

	KERNEL=="hd[a-z]", BUS=="ide", SYSFS{removable}=="1",
	SYSFS{device/media}=="cdrom", SYMLINK+="cdrom cdrom-%k"

should now read

	KERNEL=="hd[a-z]", BUS=="ide", SYSFS{removable}=="1",
	SYSFS{device/media}=="cdrom", SYMLINK+="cdrom cdrom-%k",
	MODE="0660"

(those last two lines may wrap in this message, but they're one, big
line).
