Time to re-stuff the E-Caps!

There are 5 of them. The ones that came off the set are on the left and what I'm going to use is on the right. 4 of them use the cardboard covers. One cardboard cover on a shorter caps was already removed when somebody did the partial restoration.

What I plan on doing is to use 5 new bases because I don't want the twisty mounting ears to break off when installing them in the chassis. The cans that use the cardboard covers will be cut off about 1/2 above the base. Then I'll epoxy a PVC sleeve to the base. Install the new caps and slide on the cutoff can. Then slide on the cardboard cover.

The 1 E-Cap that does not have a cover, the can will be cut off right at the base. The base and can will be trued up and again a PVC sleeve will be epoxied to the base. I'll install the new caps, and slide on the polished up can.

I'm using all Nichicon 105 degree caps and most are at least 10,000 hour caps.
