So I was at Home depot and decided to ge some supplies to try making capacitor cans for my 70. The copper ones that are laways missing.
I forgot the copper paint so I used hammered and there are a few tweeks I have to make but here is the result of my first try. I see that the cap top needs to be longer, Bottom black piece needs to be shorter, groove needs to be more defined but anything else?

What do you think?
Good replacement for the missing ones?
