The cap clamp.
Struggling with putting them back.
The caps are as seen below, are mounted under the dial (and all the pointer moving gear), plus right next to the tuning cap.

   

This requires being gentle while putting the caps back, in order nopt to scratch, tear or bend anything. Which means using one finger holding the screw that has to go through the clamp. But the clamp is very tight around the cap, and has the outer part forming acute angle which I have to push in to align the two holes through which the screw has to go through. And whem fully pushed in, I still have some 40-60 mils overlapping of the holes. I was able to put the first (insulated, in brown plastic wrap, shown at the bottom of the photo) cap in, but that was further from the tuning cap, and with the top one, I am afraid to push to hard, which I have to do with large flat scredriver that pushes its blade right against that crease (the acute angle). You could see the screw, a black bum at the back of the cap, between the bottom of the tuning cap and an IF can. I have to hold that one with one finger, and not to move much lest I bend the tuning cap's vanes. And then when successful, I have to hold it from coming apart, put the bar on the screw and then put the nut and try to rotate it with one finger (the nut will sit inside that crease which makes the access....tight).

Yesterday after 20 minutes of trying I relented and will continue tonight.
