Jun, try using the 1" plastic pipe. If you align it right you can epoxy the top that you cut off to the end of the pipe and then slide it into the can and push down top, that should leave it stable and you can use the metal tape over it. If the bottom is aluminium (I thought it was plastic/bakelite/phenol) you could drill a hole innit and bolt a terminal lug through it to use as your ground, otherwise you will have to put the bolt through the side somewhere. You can't solder to the aluminium. Pat
