Some might complain it is not original workmanship but as long as it isn't a high buck set stuff like this doesn't make much difference.

I think I will just completely remove the old can capacitor completely out of the TV and just bolt a proper terminal strip down onto the chassis and just wire it up and go from there. Since the original filter cap was a 40/40/40 @ 450 VDC capacitor I don't think it will matter where I hook up the positive leads.
