Some of us like to gut the old cap and put the new ones inside for appearances sake.
At this point I'm just trying to see if the jail bars change based on the addition of the paralleled cap. If it's best to disconnect the lead from the canister, then I think I'll just get all the replacement caps needed to clone the canister, install them on the bottom side of the chassis and leave the can in place for show.
