I know this will probably not make you happy, but if it were my radio I would be looking for the copper or nickel plated Mershons, making the question moot. Which I have done too may times to count.
The nickel Mershons are soldered back together from a cut in the groove, filed slightly if needed and lightly wire brushed. It is hard to tell they were apart. Just finished the 2 on my 15X. P.S. even though the groove is hidden beneath the clamp mount, I still know it is there and it makes me sleep better at night knowing that in 100 years someone will cut them apart unnecessarily (I also use 630 volt film caps as replacements) and go WHAT THE -----!
