Twist Lock Style Solder Tabs
#13

Agreed, Arran.

I’ve got an idea in mind. I plan to design a PCB with the footprint of the old capacitor. I’ll solder the new caps into through-hole mounts on the PCB, and their pins will route to PCB mounted solder lugs for the wiring connections under the chassis. Finally, I’ll use some of these QC connectors for the twist lock connections to chassis ground. I feel that this design will be pretty robust. 

I could restuff the existing caps, yes. However, I’m up to the challenge of engineering a modern-day solution. Challenge accepted!
