Joseph,
Yes you could do that too. But why did you choose to buy these conspicuously large capacitors? 10nF Y2 caps should be about half the diameter those in your picture, unless you kept the leads long.
I never had them protrude much at all.
In fact, in my article on this, I restuffed 0.01uF Y2 caps; you could see in the pictures they are quite inside.
People who do not drink, do not smoke, do not eat red meat will one day feel really stupid lying there and dying from nothing.
