Are these the two thin copper plates with screw/nut and mica sheet in between?
You can try this: get some newer type trimmers, open up the cap as much as possible (gently bend the top leaf out), solder the trimmer and see if it works. I would start from 3-20 or 3-30pF.
Or you could buy a 5-mil mica and try to slice it with a scalpel.
I am surprised the mica you have does not work.

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.
