Just got a set of caps from JustRadio.

Unfortunately, the electrolytic cans were substituted with E-caps with 2 leads. As long as it works, I don't mind the looks too much. Anyway, these have the arrows for the leads. Which way are they supposed to go. Are the wires for the tips of the can type, soldered to the arrow side or vice versa?

Another dumb Q. One of the cans did not have any wires for the ground, ie, no wires soldered to the collar nut. What do I do with the second lead on the new cap?
